Another part of the human condition is that we want to feel accomplishment. We seek accomplishment to feel as though our life means something or that the end of the object means something. And then, when that accomplishment happens, people often are then filled with anxiety over maintaining that success, lest they lose it.
In Philippians 3:4 the Apostle Paul gives his resume: his pedigree (vs 5), his education (vs 5), his dedication (vs 6), his list of accomplishments. And all those things he said, are loss for Christ. When it comes to both satisfaction in this life and eternal destiny, our accomplishments don’t cut it, and don’t save us. We don’t need to have success and our own righteousness because we have the Lord’s.
