Our Righteousness and Holiness Is Like:

A person that believes that he can impress God by his own holiness and self-righteousness is like a poor man that is flashing a dollar bill to a multibillionaire with the elusion that he will be impressed. The foolishness of it is almost comical but the reality of the still the same. The only righteousness and holiness that any of us can possess is through the richness of Christ and excepting his gift of Calvary for our sins and putting our trust in him and him alone. It not our acts of righteousness that save us, but it was his righteous act on Calvary that saves us.
