Not my righteousness!

Philippians 3:7-11

"But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake ofChrist. More than that, I count all thinsg to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith, that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering, being conformed to His death; in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead."

It's either your righteousness or Christ's righteousness. It's either my filthy rags or Christ's riches. Count your righteousness as rubbish, and cling to Christ's righteousness with your life. Stay strong and God bless!
