Chris.
One of God’s goals for us is that we might be Holy and without fault in His Eyes. This can only take place as we respond to the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. God is not looking for our self righteousness, He is looking for Holiness. God is not wanting to listen to our excuses, He wants us to be without fault in His Eyes.
