Imputed righteousness?
I've heard some say that Christ's righteousness - HIS actual, personal righteousness - is imputed to the believer. So "God doesn't see me when I sin, He sees Jesus instead." So "He kept the law of God so I don't have to in order to go to heaven." So HIS obedient life is what God sees when He looks at the believer.
But, I thought the Bible taught that our faith in Christ is imputed as righteousness to us? That God sees our FAITH, and considers THAT as righteousness. That imputed righteousness means God declares us righteous because of our faith. That Christ is our righteousness, not that Christ's righteousness is credited to our account.
So where does the Bible say "Christ's righteousness is imputed" to the believer?
