If you could do it, even one person, Jesus would not have had to die on the cross.
Jesus didn't come for the righteous because there weren't any then and there still aren't any today. We are all saved by His grace if we are saved. All He asks is for us to accept the gift that He gave us and try to follow His example. The Holy Spirit that lives inside of us will help us change but we'll always fall short of the perfection of God and He knew that we would fail.

Thank you, well said. Grace and forgiveness are never earned. They are freely given. Otherwise we could boast.
Grace mercy and peace be upon you frens
