Methinks perhaps you are speaking sarcastically, nevertheless...

Jesus who never sinned said this:

"...there is none good but one, that is, God..." Matt 19:17

The fact is that all good things in anyone or in anyone actions are of God. Unfortunately, we still have an "old man" alive and well in us struggling for dominance. This old man wins battles sometimes because we make the wrong choice (for ourself instead of for God).

"If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." Eph 4:21

"From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?" James 4:1

"For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body." James 3:2

Who but Jesus has reached the point of offending "not in word"?
