Imputed Righteousness

The righteousness of God is revealed in the Gospel, the righteousness which people are in need of for life. This righteousness is imputed to all who ask in Christ. Man's problem is God's dilemma: How can the righteous God forgive unrighteous sinners? It is in the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus that solves this problem between God's justice and mercy. He is the demonstration of the righteousness of God. The cross is God's way of righteously saving sinners. Christ's substitutionary sacrifice satisfies God's justice.
