A. W. Pink on Imputed Righteousness to Believers

It is called “the righteousness of God” (Rom. 1:17; 3:21) because He is the appointer, approver, and imputer of it. It is called “the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:1) because He wrought it out and presented it unto God. It is called “the righteousness of faith” (Rom. 4:13) because faith is the apprehender and receiver of it. It is called man’s righteousness (Job 33:26) because it was paid for him and imputed to him. All these varied expressions refer to so many aspects of that one perfect obedience unto death which the Savior performed for His people.
