Either God's righteousness or ours.
From Romans 10
For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
John 6:15
Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
Jesus is the King! He is not going to be the King we want, He is the King of the universe! Jesus is not King by our choices, not by our wants, instead of trying to put God into the box we want God to be conformed to the God we want. Instead, we need to go to God and ask Him how we should conform to the image of Christ as He wants because He is God and we are not.
