Our hearts are rotten to the core. Sure, we can act righteous from time to time but it is never sustainable. In many cases, we can be 'good' for a while but if it isn't based on the right things, it eventually runs out of steam and we come back to our true state of sinfulness and wickedness. This is why humans can't obey God's will for their lives on their own strength. Our righteousness is like filthy rags. Practically speaking, we have no righteousness of our own. But thanks to God's grace, the indwelling Holy Spirit changes us continuously so our thoughts, our speech, and our actions change in accordance to God's will.
