The Faith/Faithfulness of Jesus Christ !

Everyone Christ died for, He also lived for, He obeyed the Law for them as Adam failed to do, but Christ was faithful in all that He did in accordance to the Will of God for them He Lived and died for Heb 3:1-2a

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;


2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

This was His Covenant Mediator Faithfulness as the Surety of His People, His Church, His Sheep, The Body of Christ. Now this Faithfulness is part of that Righteousness which is imputed to the Elect, when according to His One Obedience [for them], the many were made Righteous Rom 5:19

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience [fidelity, faithfulness]of one shall many be made righteous.

It can also read without harm, the manny shall be made Faithful by the Obedience of One. That word faithful in the text Heb 3:2a

2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. its the greek word pistos which means:

trustworthy, faithful, believing. Also the root of pistos faithful and pisteou Faith are the same which refers to persuasion . So when God imputes righteousness without works Rom 4:6

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, He imputes unto them Faith or Faithfulness without works. Its Piety to God without works from them.

Hence thats why Paul testifies to and so does every true believer Christ died for Gal 2:20

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.This is the testimony of all Christ Loved and gave Himself for.

So Imputed Righteousness declares them Faithful before they become believers in time, and its why they must become believers experimentally in time, to show that Christ made them Righteous. All believers believed First in Christ their Surety with the Faith or the Faithfulness of Jesus Christ ! 28
