Philippians 3:8-9
8 Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ 9 and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith.

REFLECT
Paul encourages the Philippians to value knowing Christ Jesus. Further, he instructs them to make room in themselves for faith. What do you think about your own righteousness? Are you zealous? Are you emptying yourself to make room for faith?
