Christ Our Righteousness (Philippians 3:2-9)

We all keep a kind of scorecard—whether it’s being a good parent, working hard at our job, having a solid reputation, or even just trying to be a “good Christian.” Paul had the best scorecard you could imagine, and yet he says it was all worthless compared to knowing Christ. In this passage, Paul shows us the emptiness of trusting in what we’ve done and the freedom of resting in what Christ has already done for us.
