How do we know that Christ’s righteousness is imputed to us?
Answered in 6 sources
We know Christ’s righteousness is imputed to us through faith in Him, as our acceptance before God is based solely on His finished work.
The imputation of Christ's righteousness is a central theme in Reformed theology, encapsulated in passages such as Romans 4:5-8. When we place our faith in Christ, God counts us as righteous because our sins have been imputed to Him and His perfect righteousness has been imputed to us. This means that at the judgment, our standing is not based on our own works but rather on Christ's fulfillment of the law on our behalf. This doctrine is critical as it provides believers with assurance of their salvation and their position as justified before a holy God, affirming that 'there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus' (Romans 8:1).
