Man cannot justify himself. We fail when we try.
Jesus lived the perfect life that we cannot live. When we surrender to God's Holy Spirit, we receive Jesus' perfection through faith. If we allow God's Spirit to change us, it will teach us Love. As our love grows, we lose the desire to do things that will hurt others and our desire is to please God.
We haven't changed ourselves. God has.
The perfect life in obedience was live on our behalf to us who come to him in repentant faith to be reconciled and restored to God, that just judgment does not come on us with having Christ who bore it. This delivers us of the consequence of failure but does not deliver us from obeying God. And we do need God changing us, for that... that we will change. It is not over.
