Home Essay Series Imputed Righteousness
This complete ten-part essay series presents a thorough KJV study of imputed righteousness—the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ credited to every sinner who believes. Beginning with Adam’s representative disobedience and the condemnation entered against the human race, the series follows the biblical doctrine through Christ bearing the guilty sinner’s record at Calvary, Abraham receiving righteousness by faith, David describing the blessed man to whom God will not impute sin, and Paul’s uncompromising declaration of justification without the deeds of the law. It exposes the failure of personal righteousness, distinguishes the believer’s perfect standing from his imperfect daily walk, answers Satan’s accusations against the justified, and grounds assurance in God’s written testimony rather than emotions or performance. The final study carries the doctrine to glory, where believers will be presented faultless in the righteousness of Another. Readers will understand why salvation cannot be earned, supplemented, maintained, or completed by human merit—and why Christ’s righteousness provides the believer’s unchanging acceptance before God.
