@nonsensiclesnail Jesus Christ said in Matthew 19:17, "...there is none good but one, that is, God"
The only good in me is God in me. I am only righteous because Jesus Christ's righteousness has been imputed unto me when I believed in Him. I am nothing without Jesus Christ. All glory, honour and praise goes to the Lord Jesus Christ. All of our own righteousness are as filthy rags. Many are ignorant of this and go about to establish their own righteousness and trust in themselves and their own works, which leads them to Hell.
Isaiah 64:6 - But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Romans 10:3 - For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
Ecclesiastes 7:20 - - For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
Titus 3:5-7 - Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

@Freeindeed Salvation is a gift of grace, given through faith in Jesus Christ—not something we can earn or achieve on our own (Ephesians 2:8-9). The righteousness we have comes from Him alone, not from anything we do.
But when we walk with Christ, His Spirit moves through us, shaping us from the inside out. Just like a tree naturally bears fruit when it’s healthy, a heart rooted in Him will start to reflect His goodness (John 15:5). It’s not about striving for righteousness—it’s about letting Him work through us.
Paul puts it perfectly in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and all things have become new.” This transformation isn’t about proving anything—it’s about living in the freedom of Christ (Galatians 2:20).
Without Him, we’re nothing. But because of His grace, we’re called to live in a way that reflects His love and truth (Titus 2:11-12). Faith without works is dead (James 2:17), not because works save us, but because real faith naturally leads to a life that honors Him.
At the end of the day, all the glory goes to Jesus. Because of Him, we are made new and we get to walk in His light every single day.
