Justification By Imputed Righteousness

Justifying righteousness is the doing and suffering of Christ when He was in the world. This is clear because we are said to be “...justified by His obedience.” (Romans 5:19) by His obedience to the law. Hence, He is said again to be the end of the law for that very thing, “Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” (Romans 10:4) The end, what is that? Why the requirement or demand of the law? But what is it? Righteousness, perfect righteousness, Galatians 3:10. Perfect righteousness, what to do? That the soul concerned might stand spotless in the sight of God, Revelation 1:5. Now this lies only in the doings and sufferings of Christ; for by His obedience many are made righteous; wherefore as to this, Christ is the end of the law; that being found in that obedience is sufficient for our justification. Hence, we are said to be made righteous by His obedience and to be washed, purged and justified by His blood, Hebrews 9:14; Romans 5:18-19.
