How do Christians have no confidence in the flesh?

Answered in 1 source

Christians have no confidence in the flesh by recognizing that their salvation and righteousness come solely from Christ.

In Philippians 3:3, Paul asserts that true believers 'have no confidence in the flesh.' This means they do not rely on their own efforts, works, or accomplishments for salvation. Paul's personal testimony, where he lists his earthly credentials before renouncing them for the sake of Christ (Philippians 3:4-8), illustrates the necessity of depending solely on the righteousness of Christ, obtained through faith. This dependence signifies a complete surrender to God's grace, acknowledging that salvation is not achieved by human merits but through the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
