Yes.
And even if one COULD fulfull the Law (only He could & did), Jesus adds this giant-killer in Luke 17:10 - (NASB)
10 “So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’”
The deeper one goes in Christ, the better one knows Him, the more one knows his own blackness and depravity of heart. Only those who know Him little are proud and boastful, and think they are good servants.
How amazing is it that the apostle John - who knew the Lord Jesus probably better than any other man - at the END of his life, even after seeing the transfigured Jesus, saw Him fully glorified (Rev. 1:17) FELL AS A DEAD MAN?
Where does that leave you and me?
I have an accurate, revealing test for self-righteousness.
This would seem to be the greatest sin, or close to it, based on Jesus’ words........
Does anyone here want to take it?
In desperate, desperate need of a savior.
Answers the question of the song, “I Can Only Imagine,” eh?
