And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no man living is righteous. (Psa. 143:2 )
"Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow ; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.(Isa. 1:18 )
"Or let him rely on My protection, Let him make peace with Me, Let him make peace with Me." (Isa. 27:5 ) "Yield now and be at peace with Him; Thereby good will come to you. (Job. 22:21 )
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, (Rom. 5:1 ) nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law ; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified. (Gal. 2:16 ) because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight ; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. (Rom. 3:20 )
and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.. (Acts 13:39 )
Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Cor. 15:57 )

Some of the biggest examples of righteous men in the bible were also some of the biggest sinners. We have all been given a chance to wear white robes

Hello there. I am a newbie here but enjoy reading your posts. These verses remind me of Ps. 103:8-14. New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures(NWT)-"Jehovah is merciful and compassionate, Slow to anger and abundant in loyal love. He will not always find fault, Nor will he stay resentful forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor has he repaid us what our errors deserve. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So great is his loyal love toward those who fear him. As far off as the sunrise is from the sunset, So far off from us has he put our transgressions. As a father shows mercy to his sons, Jehovah has shown mercy to those who fear him. For he well knows how we are formed, Remembering that we are dust."    Over and over we are reminded that we need a healthy 'fear' of God. Not fear of being disciplined by a cold impersonal being. It's a fear that exists because we love him and don't want to hurt him, bring reproach on his name, any more than we would a peer we love dearly.
