The LORD Jesus Christ imputes His righteousness to His saints according to His good pleasure. May His Name be praised! Acknowledging our shame in the contrast of His Holiness in redemption actually brings Him glory as I see it. Job acknowledged that even if he considered himself righteous in his own eyes it is something far different to be righteous in God's. Read Job 9. The only righteousness before God at judgment is the righteousness of Christ. We ought not think we have ANY other merit apart from it. Salvation is in Christ alone.

"He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,"
Job 33:26-29
