Defn: Justification is a legal term to mean that we are “not guilty”.
In the way that it is used in this text, it reflects the way that a judge would declare someone to be “not guilty”.
This could be due to lack of evidence or a doubt in the jury’s mind.
Contrasted with “innocent”.
Defn: Imputation is the attributing of actions to a source: often, imputation involves actions that are criminal.
Imputation takes words or actions and ties them to a person or a cause.
An imputation is when you say "He did it!"
In a negative sense, Imputations are therefore similar to accusations.
Jesus’ righteousness is imputed through faith not works.

5 But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.
There is a God who justifies the ungodly.
He counts belief in His Son Jesus as righteousness.
Only if, you don’t work for your justification, but rather simply trust in the power of what Jesus did.
Imputed righteousness expresses itself in good works
James does not contradict, but complements Paul’s teaching by showing that the person who has been credited with righteousness will always express this in works.
We are declared to be justified by God, in spite of our unrighteousness.
However, having been righteous, our actions should be affected and should show evidence that God’s work of justification has taken place
