“And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith” (Philippians 3:9).
I find in this verse the cure for the infirmity of self-righteousness. Paul discovered it on the road to Damascus. It was not his own righteousness, trying to just be good and follow the law, but faith in God alone that saved him. Once Paul let go and let God have control of his life everything changed. As I shared yesterday, when Paul found Christ, nothing else really mattered.
Have you walked your own way long enough? Is it time to turn your trust over to God and let Him transform your life? It worked for Paul.
