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.

Philippians 3:9 NLT

Lockdown does give time to reflect, to think about what's really important.

Paul does a quickfire survey of his life and what he held to be important, that righteousness, this way of being right with God that he had been raised in, dedicated his life to, this self salvation project of being able to get right with God through his own effort, was a mirage. 

An unattainable impossibility that was not God's way.

Faith is what is needed.

Sometimes that seems so simple, and sometimes too hard to grasp. 

Faith in Jesus. 

It's not about "how much" faith, but who it's in. 

Faith in Jesus.

Jesus is enough.
