The steps of a good man are ordered (pre-arranged) by the Lord, and He delights in His way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand. Psalm 37:23,24

Jesus told the rich young ruler, "No one is good but God." We who have been born again have been made good or righteous by the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. His righteousness has covered us as a royal robe!
Joshua the high priest was standing before the Angel of the Lord and Satan was standing at his right hand to oppose him. Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and the Angel (Jesus) said, "Take away the filthy garments and clothe him with rich robes and let them put a clean turban on his head." Jesus clothes us in righteousness and the clean turban represents the helmet of salvation that gives us assurance that we are saved and sealed unto redemption!
God had a plan for me and for you to make us righteous by His blood and to give us a hope and a future so that we can fulfil our destiny while we are on this earth. I am not a good man, I am a righteous man because He made me righteous, I have fallen, but He has picked me up, all praise and glory to the Most High God!
"Thus says the Lord of Hosts; 'If you will walk in My ways, and if you will keep My command, then you shall also judge My house, and likewise have charge of My courts; I will give you places to walk among these who stand here.' " Zechariah 3:7
