That is walking after the flesh when we urge ourselves in human strength to do good. The bible teaches to yield our bodies as instruments of his righteousness. That means he uses us in actual use. The goal is the same, but the means to that goal cannot work when we use fleshly power to imitate Jesus.
The bible teaches there's more than just the need to serve God. It's the method we use to serve Him that matters.
Rom 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
