If you read the entire Book, my FRiend, you would find that God is rescuing those who do not deserve rescue, He is redeeming the elect not because of a "righteousness derived from Law", but because of His exceedingly merciful grace. If you believe you represent the "good enough to be deserving heaven", I caution you to re-read the text. Even Paul did not view himself this way. Your gospel suffers from the same misunderstanding that the Judaizers taught.

You can't save yourself with good works - but you can condemn yourself with bad works plus lack of repentance. I agree with Altariel that oppressing the innocent or failing to condemn such oppression, and not repenting of same, will earn God's wrath; what's your view?
Where did I claim that the children were righteous or sinless?
You are deliberately ignoring the point.
