Psalm 46 tells us to "cease striving and know that I am God." This is good advice. Because you are in Christ there is nothing you can add to Christ's righteousness. His is complete and perfect. But what you can do, is to cease and to know. The less you try to impress Him, the more you can know the facts of his righteousness and that it has already been fully imputed to you by no merit of your own. You can look at Him and know Him and know that He is God. It is already done! This gives us the freedom to cease striving and rest in His (HIS!) righteousness. You're righteous!
