Paul taught to place no confidence in the flesh.
What does that mean?
Well, he's talking about going to heaven, or to try to stay saved, or to try to get God to accept you.
If you are trying to do any of that, and your TRUST is in anything you can do.......and that means trying to do ANYTHING.....then you are placing your salvation at the mercy of your behavior, and that is a 100% fail.
How do you know?
Its because God had to Die on the Cross, BECAUSE you have no way to regain relationship with Him, or to keep it after God has restored you to eternal relationship to Him through the Cross of Christ.
LEGALISM, or "self saving".....or "here is what i have to DO, or make sure i DONT DO, to go to heaven".....is : "to place confidence in the Flesh".
Let me show you where to place your confidence so that you can rest from trying to be good enough for God to accept, as you will never make it there, Reader.
The CROSS is the PROOF..
Jesus said.......'I am the WAY to the Father". John 14:6
See that?
There is your: "Straight Gate".
There is your" "Narrow way"
You can trust Christ to get you to the Father.
He did not fail to do it........ and that is why He said from the Cross..."it is FINISHED"..
= Your ONLY way back to GOD.
Place your confidence ONLY IN Christ, and you have met the only requirement that God demands, to take you into His Family and keep you there forever.
