What is meant by the imputed righteousness of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Imputed righteousness means that believers are credited with Christ's perfect obedience and righteousness, enabling their justification before God.

Imputed righteousness refers to the theological concept where Christ's perfect righteousness is credited to believers when they place their faith in Him. This is central to the doctrine of justification, which states that sinners are declared righteous by God not based on their own works, which fall short, but by the merits of Christ's obedience and sacrifice. Romans 1:17 explains that the righteousness of God is revealed to us and received through faith. Hence, this imputed righteousness allows believers to stand justified before the holy judge without fear of condemnation, as they are seen through the lens of Christ’s perfection.
