"Jesus is our Lawyer, He stands before God. ... We belong to Christ and Christ is our sanctifier. He's our sanctification - He wants to cleanse us. It isn't imputed righteoussnes, it's imparted righteousness. Imputed means, you're not really righteous, but God considers you righteous. Imparted means, you're not really righteous, but God wants to make you righteous. There's a difference between 'making us' and 'making believe.'"
Imparted 1. To grant a share of; bestow: impart a subtle flavor; impart some advice. 2. To make known; disclose: persuaded to impart the secret. 3. To pass on; transmit: imparts forward motion.
Imputed 1. To relate to a particular cause or source; attribute the fault or responsibility to: imputed the rocket failure to a faulty gasket; kindly imputed my clumsiness to inexperience. 2. To assign as a characteristic; credit: the gracefulness so often imputed to cats.
From Keith Green's thing.
