God sees and hears your thought life at all times. The eyes of the Lord are in 'every' place beholding the evil and good. He knows your thoughts afar off. *Psalms 139* Only a man's self-righteousness can damn him, and only Christ's Righteousness can save him. The Law of God shows you your sins, and your self-righteous works can never possibly attain the righteousness that is expected by a holy God to enter His Heaven.
Only the Lord Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, and loved the God the Father perfectly in all points. I have received Christ Jesus' sinless perfection (Righteousness) and His Precious Blood shed on Calvary as my covering and shelter from the wrath of God on sin. What exactly is your shelter from the wrath to come? What are you trusting to to get you past the judgment of God? Good works, baptism, repentance, belief, faithfulness to the end (or are you trusting the Lord Jesus Christ Himself)?
Illustration: You may believe in an elevator, but you have to get onboard to go upstairs. The same is with the Lord Jesus, don't just believe in Him, commit your soul to Him, get onboard Him, and then He will take you up freely, just like a elevator, your works inside the elevator, don't help the elevator. The power of the elevator takes you up, not your works.
The Blood of Jesus Christ is not simply the only thing that can save, but it must save alone. If you put anything with the Blood of Christ, and you are lost; if you trust to anything else with the Blood, you will perish. You may say, "Baptism can help save me, and I will trust in that, and in Christ too." If you do, you are lost. God is jealous when it comes to Christ's blood, and anything you put with the Blood, however good you may think it is, becomes from the fact of your putting it with Him, a damnable and despicable thing in God's sight. And just what is it that you would try to put with Christ? Your good works? What! Will you try to sew your filthy rags to the robe of Christ’s Pure Righteousness. You have ruined it, if you do. Your righteousnesses [best works] are "as filthy rags;" and shall your filthy rags be joined to the spotless holy Righteousness of Christ? Human goodness and human badness are the same thing - SIN. It must not, and it shall not be joined to Christ.
When you are in your best state, remember you are still altogether vanity. Rely on Jesus only, and you cannot perish; but rely on anything with Him, and you are as surely damned as if you should rely upon your sins. Jesus only—Jesus only—Jesus only—this is the Rock of Salvation. The only pillar of your hope of Salvation must be the Cross, and anything else of your own self-goodness that you to try to support up the cross of Christ with is abominable to God, and ceases to have any virtue in it, because it is an anti-Christ. This Man Christ Jesus receiveth sinners.
The Blood of Christ, then alone, saves; but put anything with it, and it does not save. "Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to thy Cross I cling." This is the heart of it all. If you want to get rid of the guilt of your sins, you must believe in Jesus Himself alone. It is all there in that pierced heart and blood of Jesus on the cross of Calvary. It is all there in that crimson flow opened on Calvary’s bloody tree. Look to Jesus, behold the Lamb of God, and your soul shall be saved! This is Glorious Gospel in a nutshell. “There is life in a look at the Crucified Creator.” Study that truth closely and cast away your filthy garment as Blind Bartimaeus did and get to Jesus Christ for your spiritual sight, or you will die as a fool dieth. Christ receiveth sinful men, even me with all my sins. Soli Autem Crucis!
