In this Reformation Day episode, we discuss the distinction between imputed and inherent righteousness, as well as explain how conflating the two can affect our doctrine of justification. We turn to chapter 4 of Gerhard's treatise On Justification to see how the reformers used these ideas to correct previous errors. The Scripture reading for the day is Romans 3:19-28.
