Righteousness = is the quality of being right in the eyes of God, including character (nature), conscience (attitude), conduct (action), and command (word). Righteousness is, therefore, based upon God's standard because He is the ultimate Lawgiver (Isaiah 33:22)

Imputed righteousness refers to the righteousness of Christ being credited to the believer’s account. To impute is to ascribe something to someone else.

Imparted righteousness is the result of the transformative work that occurs within believers as we are progressively made righteous through the power of the Holy Spirit.

The righteousness by which we are justified is imputed; the righteousness by which we are sanctified is imparted. The first is our title to heaven; the second is our fitness for heaven.

The following statement is by Ellen White from the Review and Herald, June 4, 1895 source

We can see that there is a vast difference between imputed and imparted righteousness. “The righteousness by which we are justified is imputed; the righteousness by which we are sanctified is imparted. The first is our title to heaven; the second is our fitness for heaven.”

Imputed, imparted, ???

Christ was the only righteous one.

According to Paul everyone else is unrighteous.

Romans 3:10
As it is written: “There is no righteous person, not even one."

Romans 5:17
For if by the offense of the one, death reigned through the one, much more will those who receive
the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

Righteousness like salvation is a gift given to us in Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:2
For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

Do you have TMS on ignore or something?

To add..

If we are in Christ obeying Him through His power everyone one of His commandments would be kept, just as He kept them John 15:10 and submitting ourselves to Christ we are released from the condemnation of the law. There is only two choices- either we are with Christ or by default against Him. Those who do not subject themselves to God's law, scripture says they are an enmity against God. Rom 8:7-8. Choose Christ- follow the example He left, obey Him not to be saved but because we love Him so much and trust what He asks of us, is for our own good.

Yet you still sin just like everyone else and you will always break the law.

In the flesh you cannot win the battle you never could attain to any level of righteousness.

Christ was victorious and we wear His righteous robes, not our own robes.

We are only saved by grace through faith and not by any other means.

I see. Just wondering why you aimed all that at me instead of him.

Sorry Magenta, I looked at your post after looking at one of his, then went to another post then came back.

Loaded the canon and fired.

It happens sometimes.
