It is not the absence of sin, but the grieving over it which distinguishes the child of God from empty professors.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Whether we talk about Christ's active righteousness, where He perfectly obeyed God's law, or His passive righteousness, where He suffered for our sake, both are filled with a sweet fragrance before God. His active life honored God's law, making every command beautiful. His passive obedience, enduring
suffering and death on the cross, demonstrated complete submission to God's will. These acts are precious to God, and because of Christ's life and death, God accepts us.

If you want to attract people, use kindness rather than harshness—especially if they are "human flies." Let love fill your words rather than bitterness, and you will have more success. There are times to speak with the firmness of Elijah, but generally,
let your life overflow with gratitude to God and kindness to others.
