 That is the WHOLE message of the Bible.  ALL must do these because WITHOUT
 them NONE is righteous.  ;->  WITH them you ARE righteous.  It never is and
 never was the righteousness of Jesus imputed TOO you, but your becoming
 righteous because of your faith which you then prove by you deeds.

Bro. Tim, Of course that is how He imputes his righteousness to us, we never
even hinted that we were righteous by our own merits.  When through faith we
obey and do the things that God's word tells us to do than we are righteous as
you stated in the above paragraph.  Where does the righteousness come from,
why of course it comes from God and declares us to be righteous because of our
faith, which was made manifest by out obedience?  I never intended anything
else, and didn't think that I would need to explain it.
