How do we know that Christ's righteousness is imputed to us?
Answered in 2 sources
Scripture asserts that Christ's righteousness is freely imputed to those who believe, establishing their justification before God.
The doctrine of imputation is foundational in understanding our justification. Romans 5 describes how the disobedience of one man, Adam, brought sin and death, while the obedience of another man, Christ, brings righteousness and life. Verse 19 states, 'For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.' This imputed righteousness is not based on our works but on Christ's completed work on the cross. Ephesians 1 further clarifies that believers were chosen and predestined to receive this gift before the foundation of the world, highlighting God's sovereign grace in salvation.
