What does the Bible teach about imputation of sin and righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers do not have their sins imputed to them, but rather, Christ's righteousness is imputed to them (Romans 4:6-8).

Imputation is a central doctrine in Reformed theology, emphasizing how our sins are not imputed to us, but rather taken by Christ. Romans 4:6-8 illustrates this as it speaks of God imputing righteousness apart from works, extending grace to forgive iniquities. The believer's sin is placed on Christ, who bears the penalty, and in turn, His perfect righteousness is credited to the believer's account. This reflects the justice of God in providing a way for sinners to be deemed righteous through faith in Christ, ensuring that salvation is entirely based on grace.
