Christ is not our righteousness

I was talking to someone the other day in a store about that we must be righteous, we are responsible for our actions and she said to me that Christ is our righteousness and I say no He is not because the Bible speaks of us to be obedient to His commandments. Note we will be judge in the end by our righteousness not someone else righteousness. Many people in the church have been taught that Jesus is our righteousness which is a lie, there are no scriptures that say Christ is your righteousness. But there are verses in scripture that Christ is our example, here are a few. In 1 Corinthians 11:1 as Paul says "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ", I John 3:7 "Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He (Christ) is righteous". A couple more verses this one is from, 1 Peter 1:22 "Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart." 1Peter 2:21 quote saying "For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps." In John13:15 In Christ words "For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you." Do you understand that Christ is not your righteousness, but He is our example to follow, He does not do it for you, you are responsible for your own spiritual soul. Have you gone through a baptism of repentance if not you are not His sheep. Be warn in Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My father in heaven. Many(Professed Christians they were only hearers not doers) will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied (preaching) in Your name, cast out demons in Your name? And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!"  This sure scare you unless your conscience has been seared by these false teachers.
