How does the imputation of Christ's righteousness work?

Answered in 1 source

Imputation entails the transfer of Christ's righteousness to believers, making them seen as righteous before God.

Imputation is a vital concept in sovereign grace theology, affirming that when a believer trusts in Christ, their sins are credited to Him, and His righteousness is credited to them. This dual transfer means that we, who have no righteousness of our own, receive the perfect righteousness wrought by Christ in His life and death. This process allows us to stand before God as though we have adhered to His law perfectly. The sharing of His righteousness is an act of divine grace, which secures our salvation and our standing before God while highlighting the glory of Christ's sacrifice.
