It is never by our works of righteousness. Our best efforts are as filthy rags before our Lord.

(Tit 3:3-6) For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. (4) But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared, (5) not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, (6) whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;

(Psa 37:4-6) Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. (5) Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: (6) he will make your righteousness go forth as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun.
(Joh 10:27) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
