#487 - Joby Martin // Works-Based Righteousness Is A Lie

We read Philippians 3:1-11 and get brutally honest about how easy it is to trust our religious performance instead of trusting Jesus. We unpack why Paul counts his best efforts as loss and why the full gospel includes both forgiveness and Christ’s righteousness credited to us. 
• reading Philippians 3 and Paul’s warning against confidence in the flesh 
• why even an impressive spiritual résumé cannot produce right standing with God 
• what Paul means by counting everything as loss to gain Christ 
• how “scubilon” exposes the emptiness of works-based righteousness 
• righteousness through faith in Christ rather than law-keeping 
• the difference between half the gospel and the total gospel through imputed righteousness 
Folks, have you ever put your faith, your trust in Christ Jesus? If not, do it now. Admit it you're a sinner in need of a savior, trust on the finished work of Christ for that salvation, and call on the name of the Lord. 
Before you go, if you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating and review.
