When thinking about believers being made righteous by faith, a significant question arises:
"How is God's Righteousness applied to those who believe?"
It may seem like splitting hairs, theologically, but there is a huge difference in what is meant by "imparted righteousness" and "imputed righteousness."
In my sermon preparation, I ran across a helpful article from The Village Church that explains the differences... and why they matter. I've posted it here so you can have a look at this helpful resource.
