Righteous people don't need grace. Are you righteous? Then you don't need grace. Are you good? Then you don't need grace. Are you perfect? Then you don't need grace. Are you holy? Then you don't need grace.
And if you have answered yes to any of these questions, then you are not under grace, but are under the law, and you will not be saved by your own righteousness.
But sinners need grace, because that EVERYONE HAS SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD!!! So, the righteous people are not the people who are righteous, or good, or perfect, but the people who know that Jesus is righteous, good, and perfect, and seek to please him, and be like him, knowing that only God is good, and to be like him is the honor above honor.
So the righteousness of God is not YOUR righteousness or YOUR goodness, or YOUR perfection, but it is the perfection, goodness, and righteousness of Jesus Christ working in you, shaping you into the image of Christ.
So then, what is righteousness, holiness, perfection, goodness? It is nothing man can do, but what Jesus has done, and continues to do in the life of the believer. So that without Christ, no man is righteous, none perfect, none good, none holy. But we are sanctified by the blood of the Lamb only, that was shed to bring NEW LIFE!!
So, JESUS DID NOT COME TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS TO REPENTANCE, BUT SINNERS!!! AND SINCE ALL HAVE SINNED HE CAME TO CALL THE WORLD TO REPENTANCE!! BY GRACE ARE YOU SAVED NOT OF WORKS LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST!!
May Jesus bless you.
