What does the Bible say about God's imputation of righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God imputes righteousness to believers without works, meaning they are declared righteous through faith in Christ.

In Romans 4:6-8, Paul articulates how God imputes righteousness to those whom He justifies by faith, independent of their works. This concept underscores the grace of God in salvation, as righteousness is not earned but is freely given. David highlights this blessedness in Psalm 32, saying, 'Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.' The New Testament reaffirms that believers, despite their sinful condition, are declared righteous because of their union with Christ and the redemptive work He accomplished on their behalf.
