How do we know imputed and imparted righteousness is true?

Answered in 1 source

Imputed and imparted righteousness is true because they are rooted in Scripture, demonstrating that believers are declared righteous through Christ and possess a new nature (Romans 3:21-26).

The concepts of imputed and imparted righteousness are foundational in Reformed theology. Imputed righteousness refers to Christ's righteousness accounted to us, enabling sinful people to stand justified before God. Romans 3:21-26 articulates this doctrine, revealing how God justifies the ungodly through faith in Christ. Imparted righteousness, on the other hand, indicates the transformation that occurs within believers through the new birth, as highlighted in 2 Corinthians 5:17. This transformation results in a new heart and a changed life, evidencing genuine faith. Both aspects work together such that where there is true imputed righteousness, there will also be a life characterized by imparted righteousness.
