John MacArthur on Justification (declared righteous) and Killing Jesus

John MacArthur on Justification and Killing Jesus

God saves believers by imputing to them the merit of Christ's perfect righteousness—not in any sense because of

their own righteousness. God accepts believers in Christ. He declares them perfectly righteous because of Christ. Their sins have been imputed to Christ, who has paid the full penalty. His righteousness is now imputed to them, and they receive the full merit for it (John MacArthur).
