Our obedient surrender to God and His agneda for our lives is called "FAITH". And faith will always be credited to our account as "righteousness". On the other hand, striving with God or His agenda for our lives is called "SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS" and will always be regarded as "filthy rags".Bible Reading:Galatians 3:1-14; John 5:19; John 4:31-34; Mark 8:27-38; Acts 1:1-8; 1 Corinthians 2:1-16; John 3:1-21
