You are righteous through your faith in Christ

But to the one who does not work (that is, the one who does not try to earn his salvation by doing good), but believes and completely trusts in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited to him as righteousness (right standing with God) (Romans 4:5 AMP)

Bible passage: Romans 4: 1-25

      What keeps a person righteous is His faith in Jesus and not by His works or how He has been keeping the law. The works of a person is limited to the extent of making Him righteous in God’s presence; only His faith in Christ can make Him completely righteous in God’s presence.

      Man’s good doings or righteousness is not a quantifier to making it to the kingdom of God, that is; God doesn’t qualify a man righteous by the good works he has done in respect to his bad works, but He qualifies a man based on the faith He has in Him.   A perfect Biblical case study is the theif at the right hand of Jesus during His crucification on the cross; He believed Jesus is the son of God. This faith he had in Christ Jesus was counted unto him as righteousness, which made Him qualified for the kingdom of God.

      You need to hold on to your faith in Christ, no matter how things may seem impossible keep believing in God, It is only through your faith in Him you can please Him. (Hebrews 11:6)

     Abraham was able to please God because he had faith in Him even when He was yet to receive the promises God had with Him.
