Why is the concept of righteousness imputed important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Imputed righteousness is crucial for Christians as it affirms that salvation is based on Christ's work, not their own.

The concept of imputed righteousness is foundational for a Christian's understanding of salvation. It teaches that believers are declared righteous before God not on the basis of their own deeds but through faith in Jesus Christ. This assurance frees Christians from the bondage of trying to earn their salvation through works, recognizing that it is Christ's righteousness that is credited to them. Furthermore, Romans 10:4 clarifies that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes, reinforcing that any attempt to achieve righteousness through the law is futile.
