How does the doctrine of imputation work in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Imputation in salvation means that Christ's righteousness is credited to believers, while their sins were laid on Him.

The doctrine of imputation is foundational to understanding salvation in Reformed theology. It teaches that our sins were imputed to Christ during His crucifixion, meaning He bore the punishment we deserve. Conversely, His righteousness is imputed to us, which allows believers to stand justified before God. This concept is illustrated in 2 Corinthians 5:21, where Christ is made sin for us, enabling our reconciliation with God. This profound truth emphasizes that our salvation is not based on our works or righteousness but solely on Christ’s redemptive act. Through faith, we accept this imputed righteousness, leading to our justification and eternal security in Him.
