What does the Bible say about imputation?

Answered in 25 sources

Imputation refers to God reckoning to a person's account what they have been made by a prior act, particularly in the context of Adam's sin and Christ's righteousness.

The Bible describes imputation as God charging to a man's account what he has been made through a prior action. In Romans 5:12-14, it explains that sin entered the world through Adam, and thus death passed upon all men because in Adam all have sinned. God did not impute sin to me without reason; rather, I was made a sinner by Adam's disobedience before sin was charged against me. Similarly, righteousness is also imputed through the one act of obedience of Christ, who became sin for us, allowing us to be made righteous in Him. This theological concept illustrates the profound connection between headship and representation found in Scripture.
