Imputation IS justification
“My only hope in life or death is the righteousness of Christ”
“The only meritous cause of justification is imputation”
“I am naked without the cloak of his righteousness, I am helpless without the covering of his righteousness, I am foul in the sight of God until I have his righteousness that is imputed to me.”
“Let me tell you what the good news is: I despair of my righteousness; I acknowledge my sin; I put my trust in Christ and Christ alone; and the good news is that the very instant I do this, all that he is and all that he has, is mine. And for the rest of my days he’s got me covered! That the Father looks at me, and beyond the impurities and everything he sees the cloak of the righteousness of Jesus. And now I am justified not for today, not for this week, not til I commit another sin, but for eternity. Is there any better news than that in the whole world?”
