"Obedience is a fruit of salvation. Effort to be obedient is a fruit of salvation. Love for Christ is a fruit of salvation." God the Father only sees Jesus when he looks at his redeemed. The righteousness of Christ is the only righteousness that is acceptable to him.
That's why the righteousness of Christ must be IMPUTED to the redeemed. The righteous deeds of men are as menstrous rags to God. He isn't pleased by them and he won't accept them.
That reeeeeeeally makes some people mad, too. Hahahaha

I am not sure if you are talking about me (around me) or not?
Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the light, no man comes to the Father except through Him.
No works or obedience will save you, except the obedience of Salvation. You must obey the commandment to Believe on Jesus to be saved.
Salvation is freely given to anyone who will obey and receive.
