Bible Verses About Righteousness Imputed

For the goal at which the Torah aims is the Messiah, who offers righteousness to everyone who trusts.

Moreover, the righteousness grounded in trusting says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend to heaven?’” — that is, to bring the Messiah down —

It is his doing that you are united with the Messiah Yeshua. He has become wisdom for us from God, and righteousness and holiness and redemption as well!

God made this sinless man be a sin offering on our behalf, so that in union with him we might fully share in God’s righteousness.”

It was the same with Avraham: “He trusted in God and was faithful to him, and that was credited to his account as righteousness.”

But the things that used to be advantages for me, I have, because of the Messiah, come to consider a disadvantage.

Not only that, but I consider everything a disadvantage in comparison with the supreme value of knowing the Messiah Yeshua as my Lord. It was because of him that I gave up everything and regard it all as garbage, in order to gain the Messiah

and be found in union with him, not having any righteousness of my own based on legalism, but having that righteousness which comes through the Messiah’s faithfulness, the righteousness from God based on trust.
