Not only did Paul give up his religious past and performance, he gladly counted everything else a loss too
He would give up any claim of such things so he could gain justification by grace
He considered them rubbish - Philippians 3:8-9
skubala = human waste or dung (KJV)
He was saying the same thing as Isaiah - all righteousness acts are like filthy rags - Isaiah 64:6
The good we do is not rubbish but it is if those works are seen as the source and trusted in
Our obedience, which is imperfect, does not make us right with God
Christ's righteousness saves by faith
The message of the cross calls us to sacrifice everything to Christ, who sacrificed everything for us
Without his sacrifice, our sacrifice would be worthless to God and to man
Key Phrase: Without Jesus' sacrifice, our sacrifice would be worthless to God and to man
