Lukaris said:

For through the offense of the one (Adam), there came condemnation to all men, and in like manner through the one just-requirement or act of righteousness on the Cross (Gr. dikaioma), there came justification of life to all men. Thus, through the one man's disobedience the many were appointed sinners (in that they were condemned to die, and put in the same category as the sinner Adam), and through the obedience of the One Jesus Christ, the many will be appointed righteous (in that they are to be offered forgiveness and life).

Through faith in Christ our sin is remitted (salvation) and we are declared "not guilty" (justification), and
we are accounted righteous with the imputed righteousness of Christ (Ro 5:18-19, 1:17, 3:21, 4:5, Php 3:9), not made inherently righteous, followed by personal sanctification (inherent righteosness) through obedience in the Holy Spirit (Ro 6:16, 19).
