Receiving christ's righteousness can only be received by BEING RIGHTEOUS!
Yep, you believe we receive Christ's righteousness by being righteous (Works). A performance based salvation that mocks the cross and the redemptive plan of God. Legalism at it's finest. Religion. Dead where it stands.
I believe that we receive Christ's righteousness by faith. And it is that imputed righteousness, our partaking of that divine nature, that brings obedience. Because we are changed, new creatures. It is now in our very spiritual nature to obey. A fish can't help but swim. A son of God can't help but be righteous. It's a change of nature.

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

the will of the Father is to believe on the Son whom he sent
1 john 3:23
And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us

Is that all? No more to it than that? Jesus had a lot of things to say about what you should do. You must feed the poor and clothe the naked, for example. And that was his criteria in separating the sheep from the goats -- He doesn't care about what you believed.
Even the scripture you quoted says there more to it than belief. You have to love one another.

Jesus also said that He is the vine and we are the branches, without Him, we can do nothing.
All that we do must be done through Christ, for we are in Christ. This is walking after the Spirit. It's not about what we do...it's about what we are. It's about our very identities being overwhelmed by the person of Jesus.
God doesn't want you to be a better person or a good Christian. God desires that Christ be formed in you, that you be conformed into the very image of Jesus. This is where religion goes wrong. The UPCI will teach people how to be great Pentecostals. But that's not teaching people how to surrender their identity and become... like Christ.

So, when Jesus said you must feed the hungry, what He really meant was He must feed the hungry through you.
