What does the Bible say about impartation and imputation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that impartation refers to God giving believers a new heart and righteousness, while imputation refers to crediting that righteousness to their account.

In Scripture, impartation and imputation describe different aspects of God's grace. Impartation is when God creates in us a new righteous heart, enabling us to believe and live righteously, as stated in Ezekiel 36:26, where God promises to give a new heart and spirit. Conversely, imputation deals with the crediting of Christ's righteousness to us, meaning that, though we are sinners, we are considered righteous because of our faith in Jesus. Romans 5:19 states, 'For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.' Thus, both concepts work together, signifying the full scope of salvation.
