Why must Christians not boast in their works?

Answered in 1 source

Christians must not boast in their works because our righteousness is as filthy rags, and all glory must go to God.

The Apostle Paul warns Christians against boasting in their own works, as seen in Philippians 3:3, where he states that we should have no confidence in the flesh. This perspective is rooted in the understanding that all our best efforts are tainted by sin. Instead, believers glory in the cross of Christ, as stated in Galatians 6:14, recognizing that any merit we have before God is solely through Christ's finished work. This knowledge humbles the heart and directs all praise to God for His mercy and grace.
