CHRISTIANITY’S CREDENTIALS

CHRISTIANITY’S CREDENTIALS

July 1, 2018

Philippians 3:4-9

4 though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 
5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; 
6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. 
7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 
8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 
9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith–
