Nope. Doesn't work that way. It's the opposite. The less I try to be good, the worse it gets.

It's not that we DO NOTHING, but find our proper place with God in the equation to do what we need to do and allow Him to do what only He can do and thereby LIVE BY LIFE, not knowledge of good and evil.

For instance, we YIELD TO HIM to empower us and not merely expect Him to do so without our volition. And we PRAY and he HELPETH our infirmities. The greek term for HELPETH implies we do something and He assists us. The error is US trying independently of God's Spirit.
