It helps us to understand this better if we see the
difference between <I>imputed</I> righteousness and <I>inherent </I>righteousness.
</p> <OL>
    <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><I>inherent</I> righteousness is: <OL type="a" start="1">
            <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Good moral deeds you do for God. </LI>
            <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Good transformations God brings about in your
                character. </LI>
            <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">It is a goodness that resides in you. It is <I>internal
                </I>to you. </LI>
        </OL>
    </LI>
    <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><I>Imputed</I> righteousness is: <OL type="a" start="1">
            <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">A righteousness that is <I>external </I>to you. </LI>
            <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">A righteousness that was achieved by <I>somebody
                else</I> and given to you. </LI>
            <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">This righteousness consists in Christ's perfect
                obedience (Romans 5:15-19). </LI>
        </OL>
    </LI>
</OL>
<P>D. Again, in justification God declares us righteous <I>not </I>on
the basis of <I>inherent</I> righteousness, but on the basis of <I>imputed</I>
righteousness. Your righteousness in justification does not
consist of any transformation that God has brought about in your
character, or any good works that you do. Rather, it consists of
what Christ did in your behalf.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E42D9656-B11C-4FA1-B4CD-5E1832E4CF18/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
