The comfort of trusting in the completed work of Jesus is what can calm the soul , bring one to repentance daily and assure our soul our position before the Lord. We are called to walk and live in a manner worthy of our lord , growing in holiness and righteousnesses but those themselves are the work of the Holy Spirit in us. But those works of righteousnesses are the result of the faith given to us by grace , but as Luther has said even our best efforts are tainted with self and sin. May we never forget that only in Christ are we , sinners , justified . It is by faith , that we are made right before God . Faith in the righteous one , the holy Son of God.
Christians need the gospel as well as the non-believer. For the believer it calls us back to the glorious work of Jesus and we should rejoice in that grace given. May we point others who are still under the curse of the law , and think they are "good" , to the realities that apart from repenting and trusting Jesus Christ , the wrath of God abides on them . But what a story we have to tell. NUFF SAID
2 Corinthians 5:21
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become therighteousness of God in Him.

There is no other religion that tells of the great love of God for his people. What other religion acknowledges the unworthiness of man? What other religion's god reaches down to us small creatures and lifts us up? Who else, while we were yet sinners, died in our rightful place? Most importantly, no one else has an empty tomb.
