What does imputed righteousness mean in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Imputed righteousness refers to the doctrine that God credits the righteousness of Christ to the believer's account.

Imputed righteousness is a critical aspect of Reformed theology, where it is taught that Christ's perfect obedience and righteousness are credited to believers through faith. The Apostle Paul articulates this in Romans 1:16-17, emphasizing that the righteousness of God is revealed through faith in Christ. This means that believers stand justified before God, not by their own righteousness but through the righteousness of Christ imputed to them. This doctrine assures believers that they are accepted before God based on Christ’s work, not their own. Rejecting the concept of imputed righteousness is associated with the spirit of Antichrist, as it denies the sufficiency of Christ's atonement and righteousness.
