“Answer this question; Does God, who lavishly provides you with His own presence, His Holy Spirit, working things in your lives you could never do for yourselves, does He do them because of your strenuous moral striving or because you trust Him to do them in you? Don’t these things happen among you just as they happened with Abraham? He believed God, and that act of belief was turned into a life that was right with God.” Galatians 3:5-6 MSG

Righteousness is not about behavior. Righteousness comes from faith (Romans 4:19-25).

Behavior is a reflection of what you believe about God and what you believe about yourself.  When you focus on the goodness of God, how much He loves you, that you are accepted & beloved, and as you grow in understanding of who you are in Christ; the behavior will begin to change automatically. It may take time but it will change.
