Jesus had power. We have same power. But must believe it. God is looking for righteousness. Without righteousness we're lost.
Righteousness is within every believer.
We are made righteous by faith in Jesus Christ. First we must understand that we need righteousness. We need to be righteous. Jews believed that, but they didn't know one can't produce self righteousness. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
