    No. The only righteousness in me is Christ Jesus.

    Edit: I'll be honest. I've been self-righteous and that is a sin. I've been forgiven for it and I know not to practice self-righteousness.

    Baby Christians will fall into this category if they are not careful.

    No! do you know how many times I mess up even in a single day! To say that I am righteous would be a huge lie. The only person I know that is actually righteous is Jesus... He is the spotless lamb of God.

    I lead a small group and a study I developed is called REAL Men RoCK. In that study the R stands for Righteous. We in ourselves cannot be righteous but as a follower of Jesus we take on His righteousness.

    For your info the rest of the lesson is E stands for Encouraging, A stands for Accountable, L stands for Love, Men of course stands for Men and RoCK stand for Rely on Christ's Kindness.

    REAL Men Cannot be Righteous, Encouraging, Accountable or Loving unless they have Christ's Kindness as their hope.

    I am not righteous but through Jesus and the Holy Spirit living in me I become righteous.

    Yes, I do ! Made righteous through the Lord Jesus Christ..

    The word "righteous" seems rather pompous when applied to oneself. I just muddle along and try to do the right things on a daily basis and follow the Golden Rule of treating others as I would like to be treated by them.

    No. The only person I know for sure was ever truly, really righteous is Jesus. And when I compare myself to Him, well... suffice it to say I don't even come close.

    I'm highly suspect of people who present themselves as righteous. More often than not, they're SELF-righteous, but not righteous.

    But for me, the point isn't to become as righteous as Jesus. The point is to try. So I'm still trying, day by day. :)

    No, but then I don't consider being 'righteous' a good thing.

    I walk my own spiritual path. I do not believe in nor condone modern day organized religion.

    Does this make me righteous? Doubtful. Just confident that I'm doing the best I can.

    I do not consider my self righteous. There is a lot laking in me.

    If I'm wrongeous, I don't ever want to be righteous.
