We all must have a righteousness that exceeds anything we could ever produce through our own effort. That’s where Jesus enters! Failure to understand this truth is at the root of all feelings of guilt and condemnation. If we understand our right standing with God on the basis of what Jesus did for us, and not by our own actions, then the power to be condemned is gone. Those who live with emotions of unworthiness are not trusting in God’s righteousness but are looking to their own actions to obtain right standing with God.
Are we not In Christ? 1 Corinthians 1:30 "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption" Today, God assesses us and sees us based on the perfection of Jesus Christ! Jesus’ righteousness is our righteousness! Right? Today aren't we as righteous as Jesus because our righteousness (right standing with God) is from Him? He purchased it for us at the cross. When we received Him as our Lord and Savior - our Substitute. He took away all our unrighteousness once and for all and gave us His gift of righteousness. This righteousness is something that you can never obtain or achieve through our right doing; it can only be received by our right believing. 2 Corinthians 5:21 "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the Righteousness of God In HIM." Is it about "do, do do", or "done, done done"?
The words in Mark 16:7 are often thought to carry the message of Peter's restoration. We know nothing of what did pass. There is only one thing that a conscience-stricken denier can say to his Savior. And-- there is only one thing that a Savior can say to a conscience-stricken denier. There must have been penitence with tears; there must have been full absolution and remission. And so we are not indulging in baseless fancies when we say that we know what passed in that conversation, of which no word ever escaped the lips of either party concerned. But why did not Peter say anything about it? Because nobody had anything to do with it but himself and his Master.
