What does it mean to glory in Christ?

Glorying in Christ is about recognizing Him as the source of our salvation and identity as believers. Philippians 3:3 illustrates that true believers rejoice and boast in Christ Jesus, acknowledging that their righteousness stems not from personal merit but from Christ alone. This means that every good work, every act of obedience stems from gratitude for Christ’s completed work rather than as a basis for salvation. Believers are called to shift their confidence away from self and human efforts towards Christ, allowing His grace to motivate their obedience and worship. This glorying transforms the believer’s life to reflect reliance on Christ instead of one's capabilities.
