Philippians Part 13: Joy In His Righteousness (Philippians 3:5-11) (Laura Coons)
Manage episode 420974109 series 2286268
Like people everywhere, we can get caught up worrying about our pedigree, status or qualifications. We may try to justify ourselves through all kinds of endeavors or consider ourselves righteous based on the good we've done. In Philippians 3 Paul points out that if anyone could be considered righteous through their works it would be him - what a bold statement! -, but that even he falls far short of Jesus' righteousness. Our righteousness comes only through Jesus; it is from Him and Him alone. We cannot depend on our own goodness to justify us but instead we can joyfully depend on the goodness and righteousness of Christ.
