Righteousness Unto Justification

Here is the pinnacle of Paul's arguments concerning righteousness, imputation and justification. He used a series of comparisons to make his point. The Greek word for "justification" appears only in : 4:25 and 5:18. He illustrated the time and place of justification by the first Adam's fall. As God imputed sin when Adam disobeyed, He imputed righteousness when Christ obeyed.
