our work is filthy rags to a holy God
I'm sure the Judge will be amused to learn that his judgment is a charade.

I'm sure the Judge will be amused to learn that his judgment is a charade.

Isa 64:6 But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

He has juded us already and we have been found wanting..That is why we need a savior

Rom 2:1   Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

How does God see us?

    Rom 3:10   As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

     Rom 3:11   There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.   

  Rom 3:12   They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

     Rom 3:13   Their throat [is] an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps [is] under their lips:

     Rom 3:14   Whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness:

     Rom 3:15   Their feet [are] swift to shed blood:

     Rom 3:16   Destruction and misery [are] in their ways:

     Rom 3:17   And the way of peace have they not known:

     Rom 3:18   There is no fear of God before their eyes.   

  Rom 3:19   Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

     Rom 3:20   Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.      Rom 3:21   But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

     Rom 3:22   Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:   

  Rom 3:23   For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

East we need not think we can do anything that God sees as "good" accept it is him working in us   

  Rom 3:24   Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
