What does the Bible say about imputed righteousness?

Answered in 28 sources

The Bible teaches that imputed righteousness is the righteousness of Christ credited to believers, allowing them to stand before God without condemnation.

Imputed righteousness refers to the righteousness of Christ that is credited to believers upon their faith in Him. This concept is rooted in the understanding that while God's essential righteousness is terrifying to sinners, imputed righteousness is a blessing, as illustrated by David in Romans 4:10. David describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness without works, emphasizing that it is not through our own deeds that we are justified, but through the righteousness of Jesus Christ alone. This is echoed in the Psalms, where David pleads for deliverance in God's righteousness, recognizing that it is through Christ's obedience that he is saved from sin and its consequences.
