How do we know that imputation is central to righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Imputation is the theological truth that righteousness is credited to believers through faith in Christ's work.

The doctrine of imputation teaches that a believer's sins are charged to Christ, while His righteousness is credited to them (Romans 5:18-19). This means that believers are declared righteous not because of their own efforts, but solely based on their faith in Jesus Christ’s atoning work. The example of Lot illustrates this, as he was recognized as 'just Lot' not because of his moral conduct, but as a result of God's grace and imputed righteousness through faith. This principle is foundational in sovereign grace theology, asserting that righteousness is granted exclusively by God's sovereign will, confirming that all believers are equally covered by Christ’s righteousness.
