One Biblical example of what this means is found in Hebrews 7:9-10, which says, "And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him." What the writer is saying is that when Abraham met Melchisedec, he paid him a tithe (tenth) of all he had received. Levi, Abraham's descendant who had not been born yet, was also credited for paying tithes to Melchisedec, because he was "in" Abraham. In the same way, Christ was sinless and died on the cross on our behalf so that through faith in Him, His righteous acts and sinlessness will also be credited to our account, as if we had always been righteous. This is what Paul calls being "in" Christ, the same way that Levi was "in" Abraham. This is what it means to be justified: Just as if I'd never sinned. Christ gives us His own righteousness. "For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Corinthians 5:21

What is imputed rent?

Imputed rent...or imputed anything for tax, means implied rather than specified....so for example...if your emplyer gives you a place to live as part of your employment...that is actually like him giving you an additional amount of salary (clearly you woul work for less if he pays your housing than if you need to pay it yourself...same with if he provides you say a car...that too is a form of payment/income even though the value of it isn't specified in your salary. In these cases, for tax purposes, the value you receive as income is "imputed" and determined (and must be reported by the employer or you) as income anyway. Another example is imputed interest- even if the agreement says no interest is charged on a loan, the one making the loan MUST report interest income as it is imputed in whatever the agreement was (the minimum rate is specified by law)...since no business would actually laon money without interest of some type, because there would be no business purpose in doing so.
