A more subtle form of righteousness is guilt, because guilt means that you're still looking at your own actions, which is e devil's form of distraction.
We feel guilty because we are focusing on our own actions.
Therefore, when you sin, look to the Cross instead. Where God has forgiven you all trespasses, you can forgive yourself. Where you have unresolved guilt, you must apply God's forgiveness of sins to your personal life.
Jesus has qualified you. True holiness comes when our hearts are secure. True holiness is of the heart(because christianity is a heart thing).
Grace: cannot be earned. It is uneased and undeserved favour from God. The only way to lose grace is to try to earn it.
Forgiveness:
- see Hebrew 9:22 - without shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness
- confession cannot earn forgiveness(confession is an act of earning). Forgiveness is to be given by the offended party. The offender cannot earn it.
- see 1 John 1:9 never build a doctrine based on one verse

Jesus stooped down to write on the ground : //10 Commandments
Jesus stood up: // resurrection
Jesus said to the woman : "Neither do I condemn you"
When sin abound, grace abound much more
Sin : human Grace : divine/infinite/God
Romans 4:16
Therefore the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be by grace and may be guaranteed [KJV : might be sure] to all Abraham's offspring...
The promise of God is sure/guaranteed.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through your faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.
