Righteousness

"Christ's obedience imputed to us and our obedience done to God have two different functions. Christ's obedience imputed to us is so that we might be counted righteous before God and so be justified. But our obedience is not the righteousness by which we are accepted by God and justified, but it is that for which God has created us and which we do out of love and gratitude to him for his grace (Eph. 2:8-10)."

-John Owen, Communion With God, Pg. 138
