Righteousness

"So man's great question is, 'How can a man make himself righteousnes to stand in the presence of a righteous God?'. Unable to discover a perfect righteousness for themselves, men 'through the fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage' (Heb. 2:15). They are frightened to die lest their self-righteousness will not save them from death and destruction."

-John Owen, Communion With God, Pg. 94
