Exactly...no one is perfect...or even close to perfection.
That's why we are given the righteousness of Christ Jesus.

That's why we are given the righteousness of Christ Jesus.
The opposite is true. The fruit of having the righteousness of God is that we walk in the perfection of Christ. If the criteria for God's righteous standard was that we are imperfect, then all men are saved. Are you are universalist? Or do you prefer your own salvation to that of others?
WHAT?????? Your statement makes absolutely no sense.
Yes, we are given the righteousness of Christ when we are born again.....but until we are fully sanctified and given our glorified bodies our "sin nature" will remain. As christians we still sin. My gospel said the blood of Christ washes away our sins when salvation is given to us.
Not all people will be saved...so no, I'm not a universalist.
No. Being born again is a sample of initial grace. You need to be baptized in the Spirit to get the full measure.
The cross of Christ takes away the power of the sin nature. This allows the inner man to enter into Christ as the new covering.
Until we are crucified...yes. Until we enter INTO Christ we still walk in our own power.
The sins that are past....
Salvation now is from sin. That's the only biblical real time salvation. The is no unconditional salvation. One must run the race of faith faithfully till the end.
INHERITING life (salvation) on judgment day is for the righteous....who don't know they are righteous.
These are the ONLY 2 standards. Holiness now by the covering of God's righteousness. Or else judgment based on human righteousness and God's mercy.
Mercy and glory.
