#486 - Joby Martin // What If Your Best Effort Still Can’t Save You

We sharpen our “sword” in Philippians 3 and confront the pride behind spiritual achievement. We lay down the idea that our background, discipline, or religious résumé can save us and we put all our confidence in Christ alone. 
• reading Philippians 3:1-11 and the warning to rejoice in the Lord 
• why “put no confidence in the flesh” targets pride and self-trust 
• Paul’s religious pedigree and personal effort laid out like a résumé 
• what “blameless” means under the Old Covenant sacrifices 
• why Paul counts every gain as loss compared to knowing Christ 
• the Jacksonville Beach to England illustration of human limits 
• salvation as trusting Christ’s finished work by grace through faith 
Before you go, if you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating and review.
