6. Righteous in Christ (Philippians 3:1-11)
How do we know whether we're "enough"—enough for God, for others, for ourselves? In this message, Caleb Janson, pastor of Gig Harbor United Reformed Church, unpacks how Paul answers this question in Philippians 3:1-11. The human heart is hard-wired to look to our good deeds in order to feel like we're worthy of love—and that's exhausting. But Paul discovered that we're worthy of love not because of what we do, but because of what Jesus has done for us. This frees us up from worrying whether we're good people, because Jesus has made us good already. As a result, we no longer have to relate to God as a stingy taskmaster whom it's impossible to please. God becomes our joy, and the purpose of life to know Him more.
