Sinclair Ferguson on Imputed Righteousness

Here's a short video of Sinclair Ferguson reflecting on the imputed righteousness of Christ, that is, "the simple glory of the Gospel that God counts to us the righteousness of Jesus Christ...not only are our sins forgiven, but the holiness of Jesus Christ is counted to us." You can come hear Sinclair preach on the resurrection and return of Jesus at Next 2009 later this month.

Can you tell me where the Bible says an alien righteousness is imputed to man, especially "Christ's righteousness"?

I don't see anything about "imputing" there nor a mention of "Christ's righteousness."

Nick,

I see from your site that you enjoy debating topics like this. I'm afraid I can't do this vital issue justice here on the blog. But if you're interested in studying this more, I'd recommend Piper's book, Counted Righteous in Christ. I think there's a free PDF version on the Desiring God site.

Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
Give Me An Answer Highschool Conference: I'm looking forward to joining Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Shane & Shane and hip-hop artist Flame at the SBTS conference for highschool students next spring. Details.
Stephen Altrogge Reviews Dug Down Deep: Over at the Blazing Center blog they've posted a very generous review of the book. Read it.
