Romans 3:21-24 - But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. (emphasis added)
Simply put, our righteousness was given to us when we placed our faith in Jesus and we are all justified freely by His grace.
So why are you trying to earn what Jesus has given to you freely?
Are you living a life trying to earn the gift that Jesus gave you? Are you trying your best to "stay" in His grace?
We are saved, but not by anything we did. Jesus did all the heavy lifting.
Turn your focus to Jesus, to the Gospel...concentrate on these things. The good news is that Jesus paid it all. And when we understand that, we are truly set free.
