How is the righteousness of Christ imputed to believers?

Answered in 1 source

The righteousness of Christ is imputed to believers through faith in His finished work on the cross and His resurrection.

According to the message, the imputation of Christ's righteousness is grounded in 2 Corinthians 5:21, which states that Christ was made sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God through Him. This means that when a sinner comes to faith in Christ, their sins are credited to Christ's account, while His perfect righteousness is imputed to them. This transaction affirms that God’s justice is satisfied, allowing believers to be accepted before Him as righteous. Such an imputed righteousness is essential for eternal life, reflecting the complete work of salvation that Christ accomplished through His death and resurrection.
