We aren't clean because we personally decide to do everything right. We are always and forever clean because of the gracious sacrificial blood of our Lord Jesus.
Amen.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." -- Romans 5:8
We are born sinning and we will die sinning. But by the inward work of the Holy Spirit as He sanctifies our lives, we will sin less and less until the end when we will be judged by His righteousness and obedience, and not our own.

I just can’t see it, E.; under the doctrine of TULIP, God will be judging God.

I agree with you, DrE, yet it seems some are granted more overcoming grace, or the progress more slowly, or something.
The Lord knows that I'm doomed if not for His grace and imputed righteousness.
