Protestants insist that God imputes Christ’s righteousness to believers, while the Catholic Church claims that he imparts it. What’s the difference? A steady river of questions arrive from listeners seeking clarity on where Protestants differ from Roman Catholics. And there’s much to talk about. Today’s question comes from a listener named Jordan. “Pastor John, hello, and thank you for this podcast. I’ve recently discovered that a ministry I closely associated with in the past does not believe that Jesus’s righteousness is imputed to us, but is imparted to us. Can you explain the difference between imputation and impartation? And how does the Bible explain these concepts about us in relationship to Christ?” EPISODE 1190: http://desiringgod.org/interviews/where-the-gospel-of-roman-catholicism-fails Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes, http://desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
