How is righteousness attributed to Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Righteousness is attributed to Christians through the imputation of Christ's righteousness.

Righteousness for Christians is not something they can earn but is attributed to them through the imputation of Christ's perfect righteousness. In the sermon, it is emphasized that only through faith in Christ and His redemptive sacrifice can individuals be justified before God. Romans 4:5 corroborates this, indicating that God justifies the ungodly by faith apart from works. Therefore, when a sinner believes in Christ, that person's sins are accounted to Christ, and Christ's righteousness is accounted to the believer, giving them the legal standing before God that satisfies divine justice. This imputation of righteousness is central to the doctrine of sovereign grace.
