	Imparted righteousness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Imparted righteousness, in Methodist theology, is that gracious gift of God given at the moment of the new birth which enables a Christian disciple to strive for holiness and sanctification.
		Imputed righteousness is the righteousness of Jesus credited to the Christian, enabling the Christian to be justified; imparted righteousness is what God does in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit after justification, working in the Christian to enable and empower the process of sanctification (and, in Wesleyan thought, Christian perfection).
		Protestants, however, maintain the distinction between the "imputed righteousness" of Christ which is the basis for justification and the "imparted righteousness" which is the basis for subsequent sanctification.

	Imparted righteousness - Theopedia
		It is this principle of righteousness imparted to men in regeneration which is ever in conflict with the old Adamic nature.
		It is critical, however, to maintain the distinction between the "imputed righteousness" of Christ which is the basis for justification and this "imparted righteousness" which may be seen as the basis for subsequent sanctification.
		Care must be taken in using the term imparted righteousness because it is sometimes confused with and sometimes intentionally used to refer to the Roman Catholic doctrine of infused righteousness, which in Catholicism is the basis for justification.

	Talk:Imparted righteousness - Theopedia
		As I see it, imparted righteousness is not only a problematic phrase, but is unbiblical terminology used to describe a notion which is best explained in other ways.
		It may indeed be appropriate to describe regeneration as God renewing our nature by implanting a "righteous principle" -- which is what I believe is intended by the words in question.
		Imparted righteousness is only valid if understood in this way.

	8. Christ and the Law: Matthew 5:17, 18: Concluded
		Surely righteousness alone secures for us a standing before God, but evangelical righteousness is the certain proof thereof, and as the tree is known by its fruits so imputed righteousness can be recognized in no other way than by inward righteousness with its effects in the life.
		To this writer the simplest and most conclusive way of ascertaining the nature of the righteousness which Christ requires from all who shall have part in His everlasting kingdom is to observe that it is placed in direct antithesis from the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees.
		Third, their righteousness issued from a foul spring: instead of keeping the Law from a desire to please and glorify its Giver, their observance of it was only in order to promote their reputation among men.

		The former, the Reformed reject as unbiblical, the latter is the Biblical doctrine of the imputation of the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
		This righteousness that we have through faith in Christ alone is called the righteousness of God because He provides it, (25) God accepts it, (26) and it is the righteousness of a divine person.
		The righteousness of God does not mean the "redemptive active in the sphere of human sin by which He, in a just way, puts us in a right relationship with Himself and liberates us from the power of evil" as stated in the FLSB for this is merely confusing justification with the righteousness of God.

	Righteousness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In another sense it refers to the righteousness of man; either his inherent righteousness (or the lack thereof), or his potential right standing before God or as being "judged" or "reckoned" as righteous by God (as the patriarch Abraham was in Genesis).
		Righteousness is one of the chief attributes of God.
		Righteousness as it is understood in the Old Testament is a thoroughly Hebraic concept foreign to the Western Mind and at variance with the common understanding of the term.

	38. Anxiety Forbidden: Matthew 6:32-34: Concluded
		The words "and His righteousness" are added by way of explanation, that we may know for ourselves when we have obtained this grand object: God’s kingdom stands in righteousness, as it is written, "The kingdom of God is not meat and drink [material things]; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost" (Rom.
		Now by "the righteousness of God" we are to understand two things: an imputed righteousness and an imparted righteousness, one which is placed to our account or credit and one which is communicated to our souls.
		The reference is to the new birth, whereby a new nature or principle is supernaturally communicated to the soul, a principle whose character and element is righteousness and true holiness in contrast with the character and element of the corrupt principle or flesh, which is sin and wickedness.

		The Bible knows no such term as imparted righteousness, however, when men refer to this, most mean the work of the Holy Spirit in a sinner to give that sinner spiritual life (a principle of life and godliness), faith, repentance, love, humility, and all the graces of the Spirit.
		Christ's righteousness is imputed as the only ground of salvation, as the only merit that makes us fit and entitled to all of Heaven, so that He might have the preeminence in all things.
		One last note on the issue of the term "imparted righteousness." Those who insist on using this term are usually very adamant against using the term "progressive sanctification." They say that "progressive sanctification" is not a Scriptural term, and it leads people to wrong thoughts about Biblical sanctification.

	IMPUTATION
		Imputation of righteousness to us in the sense that Christ obeyed the law of God in our stead and we therefore merit the reward of that obedience is not supported by the Scriptures, but is only an assumption of a certain class of theologians.

	Justification by Faith and Imputed Righteousness
		Justification does not mean “to make just or righteous,” but “to declare judicially that one is in harmony with the law.” A righteous person is one who has been declared by God to be free from guilt.

		If we take care to state that there is imparted wisdom, as well as imputed wisdom; imparted sanctification, as well as imputed sanctification--imparted redemption, as well as imputed redemption; if we do not by imputation destroy impartation--I do not see why we should shrink from imputed wisdom more than from imputed righteousness.

		The Roman Catholic doctrine that "the good works of the righteous are meritorious" is unanimously denounced as being false by all evangelical denominations, and this is right.
