True Righteousness

1 Therefore rejoice in the Lord, brethren. It doesn’t bother me to write these things over and over again. These will help you to be more prepared.

Philippians 3: 6

7 But all things which were once important to me, these I declare to be vain in Christ.
Philippians 3: 7

8 For even greater things I owe to this day, because of the excellency of our Lord Jesus Christ. That is why I have given up everything. And I have come to regard all things as false, so that I may have Christ.

9 It helps me to be in Christ and to be righteous. This righteousness does not come from obeying the law, but from God through faith. God justifies me through my faith in Christ.

Philippians 3:11
