What does the Bible teach about imputed righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers receive Christ's righteousness imputed to them through faith, securing their justification before God.

Imputed righteousness is a key doctrine in Reformed theology that signifies how believers are declared righteous before God through faith in Christ. According to Romans 4:5, God justifies the ungodly, and this is possible because the perfect righteousness of Christ is credited to our accounts. This means that when God looks at believers, He does not see their sins but the righteousness of His Son. As a result, we stand justified before Him, not based on our own works but purely on Christ's sacrificial atonement. This doctrine assures us of our acceptance with God and frees us from the anxiety of trying to earn His favor.
