Well spoken.
The intimacy yields works (fruits) of the Spirit that are measured by Love. We count nothing that comes from this obedience as our work. No matter how righteous others think we are, or how righteous we think we are, we count our fleshly righteousness/deeds loss. It is simply the Loving work of the Spirit of Christ within us and through us. It is an effortless result of our "love affair" with God.
It is His righteousness alone.
It is simply the Spirit working through our perpetual recognition that we kneel upon the blade of repentance and the revelation that sin dwells in our flesh and God knows more about our failure then we will ever know.
Because God responds so intimately by providing His work of righteousness through Jesus, we are led by the strongest calling of the human condition.
Utterly, Unconditional Love.
Though our flesh fails, the Love of Jesus sustains all of our salvational and Spiritual Growth needs.
