Even now after being baptized and coming to faith in Christ, I still have none, none of my own.
Besides I do not want to have one that is from me.
I have righteousness, for sure, but this righteousness is for the sake of Christ, the righteousness of God. Jesus gives his own righteousness to us. Like saying, here have it, I got it for you, I achieved it for you, have mine, use it, it is yours. I bled and died and rose again so you could have what I won.

None of me, none in me, all of him, all from him, all for his... sake.

Hmmm...
How can I bring this convesation back to ME.
Certainly I can't just leave this righteousness from and of Christ alone.
I must add something to it...I mean...to really make it my own.
I know! I'll start getting sanctified!
I'll finish the job that Jesus started.
And then I'll build a great big church with others who also want to finsh the job.
I don't care what Jesus said from the cross...I'm going to finish the job!!!!

SM,
Some folk say that what I or you have is fictitious righteousness because we do not have inherent righteousness.
Why would I like to draw from my own when Jesus has already done the perfect thing?

LPC,
"Why would I like to draw from my own when Jesus has already done the perfect thing?"
I can't think of one good reason. Not one.
Steve M,
Same here, I have no good reason either ;-)
