Scriptural Synergy - He Alone Is Righteous

A co-worker recently encouraged me with the following:

God delights in the earnest prayers of His people.

To which I responded in order to point him to Christ:

Thank God that Christ is the one of whom the Scripture says "the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" [James 5:16] since He "knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him" [1 Cor 5:21] because "all have sinned" [Rom 3:23] and "there is none righteous, no not one" [Rom 3:10].

I love the synergy of Scripture making available to us the wisdom of God.
