What does the Bible say about imputation of righteousness?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that righteousness is imputed to believers solely based on Christ's acceptable sacrifice, not on human faith.

The concept of imputation of righteousness is foundational to the Christian faith. According to Leviticus 7:15-18, the imputation of righteousness is solely dependent on the sacrificial offering that has been accepted by God. If the sacrifice is acceptable, God will impute righteousness to the believer, signifying that this imputation does not hinge on human action or faith, but rather on God's sovereign decree and the efficacy of Christ's atoning work. This principle emphasizes that all human efforts, whether they be faith, repentance, or good works, cannot earn or invoke God's righteousness. Instead, it is wholly granted based on the perfect, completed work of Christ on the cross, culminating in His resurrection, which affirmatively declares His victory over sin and death.
