If, in the end, this imputation of God's righteousness can not be seen in your life you do not have the imputation of God's righteousness that you think you have.
Ultimately, you can't be made a new creation in Christ and then not be a new creation growing up into the righteousness of the Spirit you have been given.

Hi!
Yahweh's imputed righteousness
What could Abraham do to change this fact?
I do. 
We are made righteous in God's sight the exact same way Abraham was.

Love is a fruit that gets expressed in what we do.
"10 Love does no harm to a neighbor." - Romans 13:10
And so it is with the other things in the list of the fruit of the Spirit. They are attributes that find expression in what we do......if we let that happen and don't squelch the Spirit. For example, the person who says they are patient but who does not act patient isn't patient.

i do not care about isolated, out-of-context verses.
what I do care about is truth.
the truth is, according to your lordship salvation garbage, when I look at the tress, the ones that have leaves on are alive ( showing works), the ones that do not are dead ( no works).
but, that is incorrect. the leaves do not prove life, the green flesh inside indicates life, not the amount of or types of leaves on the outside.
so, explain your theology fits into this truth ( if you can).

IN THE END, making Christ Lord of you life, in action, not just in words, shows you belong to Him and are indeed saved.
Showy leaves do not show that. Fruit does.
The harvest of the land that is useful to the Master is the fruit of the land, not the leaves.
Christ cursed the fig tree for not having any fruit.
It had showy leaves, but no fruit.
But He did give it time to produce that fruit.
Ultimately, in the end, it did not.

Believing in Christ for the forgiveness of everything you could not be forgiven for under the law is the Good News of salvation.
39 Through him (Jesus) everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses." - Acts 13:39
Notice, that salvation is for everyone who believes (Present tense), not for those who have never believed, or who have stopped believing.
