What is the doctrine of imputation as it relates to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of imputation teaches that Christ's righteousness is credited to believers, allowing them to stand justified before God.

Imputation is a vital concept in Reformed theology, emphasizing that the righteousness of Christ is imputed to believers, enabling their justification before God. Romans 5:18 notes, 'Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.' This teaching clarifies that through Christ's obedience and sacrifice, believers are treated as righteous. Hence, when one places faith in Christ, not only are their sins imputed to Him, but His perfect righteousness is imputed to them, enabling reconciliation with God and a standing of eternal life.
