The Spiritual Balance Sheet Philippians 3:4-6 Relying on Religion (3:4-6) Religious rituals like circumcision, baptism, ceremonies, disciplines Born into a religious family heritage Zealous to follow the rules of organized religion Human righteousness – good works etc. Relying on Christ (3:3) “… who glory [boast] in Christ Jesus and who put no confidence in the flesh (externals) (3:3) May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Galatians 6:13,14) Me Christ

We cannot be saved by our own righteousness (Romans 3:20-22) Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his [God’s] sight by observing the law... But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known... This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. (Titus 3:5) …He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. (Ephesians 2:8-9) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- {9} not by works, so that no one can boast.

How to be saved 1. Sin – My real problem – I deserve God’s judgment (Romans 3:23; 6:23). 2. Jesus’ death on cross – Our only solution. Jesus suffered God’s punishment for my sin (2 Cor. 5:21). 3. Faith in Christ – I must choose to trust in Christ alone as my sin-bearer (100+ times in the New Testament).

But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known... This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. (Titus 3:5) …He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. (Ephesians 2:8-9) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- {9} not by works, so that no one can boast. We can only be saved by faith in Jesus Christ!

What are you trusting in for eternal life? (1 Corinthians 15:2-4) By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. {3} …that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
