When you received Christ by faith and "put on" the breastplate of righteousness, you received Christ righteousness. Paul said in Philippians 3:8-9.

Mote in the eye - Luke 6: 41-42 " Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in the brother's eye.*

Clothed in righteousness, you have the ability to live your life as God lived His life in complete victory over Sin.it is possible ! by His Spirit that is within you.( Romans 3: 20 to 23).

One of the reasons there are so many weak and anemic Christians today is because they face Satan clothed in their Own Righteousness. when they are place under pressure, when they are being attacked by the enemy, when things are not going the way they thought they should go - they yield to their carnal natures.They lash out in anger with their tongues, they become bitter and resentful, the GOSSIP and BACKBITE, they lose their tempers, they quarrel and they fight, their hearts are full of lust, greed, hatred, envy and jealousy.

But Paul said " let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting Holiness in the FEAR of God.( 2 Corinthians 7:1). Peter said," Be Diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless( 2Peter 3:14) and PUT ON new man ( Ephesians 4:24) all of these require ACTION on our part. you can do it,God give you the ability to do it.
