if someone's idea of God is condemnation and getting yourself into some sort of behavior that God approves of, head's up...it is NEVER going to happen
all our righteousness is a filthy rag to God. if we are believers and we walk in the light, then our sins are forgiven
God will have mercy on who He will have mercy. it is not really about what we do or how right we think we are before Him
there is no one who is righteous
what is suggested in the op, and again in the post above, is a mashup of old and new testaments with a personal interpretation thrown in for good measure
bottom line? nuh uh
There WAS no one righteous, but now we, who are born again, ARE the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
As Jesus is in us, so are we.
If Jesus is righteous and He is in us, then we are righteous because of Him.
So how does one walk in the light, and what is the light?
I thought the word of God was the light.
How does one walk in the word of God?
