Counted Righteous in Christ: Should We Abandon the Imputation of
Christ's Righteousness?
John Piper
Are Christians merely forgiven, or do they possess the righteousness of
Christ? Recently the time-honored understanding of the doctrine of
justification has come under attack. Many question how?or if?we receive
the full righteousness of Christ.

Does Christ's life-long record of perfect
obedience to God get "credited" to your account when you trust in Christ and are
"justified" by God? This has been the historic Protestant understanding of the
"imputation of Christ's righteousness," but John Piper warns that we are in
danger of losing this doctrine today, because of attacks by scholars within the
evangelical camp. In response, Piper shows, in careful treatment of passage
after passage, that the imputation of Christ's righteousness to believers is
clearly the teaching of the Bible, and if we abandon this doctrine we will also
lose justification by faith alone. I am thankful to God for John Piper's defense
of this crucial doctrine.?Wayne Grudem, Research
