Well, here we go. What makes you and I good enough to stand before the uncreated creator of the universe? FAITH! It's called justification. You are justified by your faith in Christ. This is Gods plan and there is no other. No plan B people. This is a simple plan and concept based on belief. Do you believe God? Abraham was considered righteous because he believed God.
An issue also addressed here is the added burden we put on ourselves and others once we are justified by our faith. We can never be justified by what we say or do because our justification was completed by Christ. Christ performed the justification process for you. You are unable to do it. If anyone was able to be made righteous with God it would have been the Jews. The Jews had the best system of rules the world has ever seen. Yet, no dice.
Therefore, you don't have to impress me or your spiritual leader with your good works. When the good works flow from a faith in Christ we don't concern ourselves with the opinions of others. I don't need any mans approval nor do I seek it, but I seek Gods thumbs up.
