What does the Bible say about losing self-righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that self-righteousness must be cast away to gain true righteousness in Christ (Philippians 3:7-8).

In Philippians 3:7-8, the Apostle Paul illustrates that he considered all his former gains, including his self-righteousness and religious achievements, as losses compared to gaining Christ. This 'loss' is likened to dung, highlighting its worthlessness before God. Paul emphasizes that true acceptance with God comes not from our merits, but from the righteousness that comes through faith in Christ. This theme underscores the necessity of abandoning our self-reliance and coming to Christ for true restoration and righteousness.
