Philippians 3:8-9

"More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith."

Philippians 3:8-9 (NASB)

All our "righteousness" (freedom from guilt and sin) comes from God. It doesn't come from any way we live, e.g., right versus wrong choices. God gave us faith to believe in what Christ accomplished for us. That belief/faith constitutes us "righteous" - saved forever! Praise the Lord!
