…If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
Romans 10:9-10
Our confession is Jesus as Lord. We are righteous not of our own doing, but because Jesus took our sin and died once and for all. No prayerful repetition of our unworthiness can atone any further for our sins. All that is required of us is the true confession – Jesus is our Lord, Master and Savior.
We are not self righteous, we are made righteous by God.
