"The entire point of Christianity is that we can not live our lives in a way that is "righteous in the eyes of God," hence the substitionary sacrifice of the Infinite Christ to pay the penalty justice requires for our sins.

That's true, but there's another very important point of Christianity, and that is that Christians are to emulate Jesus. They may not succeed completely, but they are to try.

Redemption through Jesus is a good thing for Christians, but Jesus also made it clear that Christians were to walk a righteous path, as well.

Sadly, there are Christians who remember the redemption but forget Jesus' instructions on how to live.

True. I was just refuting our athiest friend's notion.

True... and, sadly, that encompasses all Christians including me.
