But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (Gal 6:14 KJV)
Our egos can be our biggest downfall. Striving to make ourselves look better than others just causes dissension. None of us are perfect. We all make mistakes. We all sin. But, because our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to take on the penalty for our sins, we are found righteous in the sight of God.
There is nothing we can do to save ourselves. Our good works add up to nothing for we can do nothing good without Christ.
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
(Gal 1:16-20)
