How do we know the concept of imputed righteousness is true?

Answered in 2 sources

Imputed righteousness is affirmed in Scripture, particularly in Romans, where it teaches that God credits righteousness to believers through faith in Christ.

The concept of imputed righteousness is grounded in biblical texts such as Romans 4, where Paul explains that righteousness is credited to believers without works, as seen in David's description of blessedness (Romans 4:6). This righteousness is not a result of personal merit but is imputed by God, meaning He accounts believers as righteous based on Christ's perfect obedience (Romans 5:19). It emphasizes that God's just accounting reflects the true state of a believer, established through Christ's work, ensuring that the relationship between God and His followers is based on truth, not mere pretense.
