Why is imputation important in Reformed theology?

Answered in 2 sources

Imputation is crucial because it defines how God counts believers as righteous based on Christ's righteousness (Romans 6:11).

In Reformed theology, imputation describes how God counts believing sinners as righteous based on the completed work of Christ. Romans 6:11 commands us to reckon ourselves dead to sin but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. This accounting does not suggest a mere pretense or superficial declaration; it reflects the reality that believers are truly justified through Christ's sacrifice. God's imputation recognizes the actual righteousness of Christ attributed to the believer, signifying their acceptance and position before Him.
