Throwing Out The Garbage

Thoughts From Pastor Ronnie Wolfe Philippians 3:4-8

Confidence in the flesh:  Throw it out Circumcised 8th day: Throw it out Stock of Israel: Throw it out Tribe of Benjamin: Throw it out Hebrew of Hebrews: Throw it out A Pharisee: Throw it out Zeal of law: Throw it out Persecuting the church: Throw it out Righteousness of law: Throw it out These are all nothing but DUNG These were all GAIN to Paul, but he counted them all but loss for Christ. He counted "all things" in himself, things he had gained in his life by his own preparation and work, LOSS.     Paul threw out his own gathered garbage when he met Christ Jesus, for he knew that he could not satisfy God's justice and judgment without the work of Christ, the complete, holy work of Christ as He died, was buried, and resurrected the third day according to the Scriptures. Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
