This is probably a dumb question, but as the Dutchman says, "It wonders me."

 

.  If the perfect righteousness of Christ earned by keeping the Law is imputed to us then why would we need a sacrifice for sin since we would already be accounted as perfectly righteous? 



Likewise, if forgiveness of sin was all that was imputed to us through Christ's cross work would we not be in a kind of "limbo?" Would we be not guilty because we were forgiven and therefore could not be condemned and lost, but not justified because we did not have an earned righteousness credited to our account? Hence the necessity of the righteous life of Christ, in addition to his death, being imputed to us.
