God uses my faith in Christ to make me right with him.
Now that I belong to Christ, I am right with God and this being right does not come from my following the law. This allows me to have Christ 9 and to belong to him.
And now I know that all those things are worthless trash. Because of Christ, I have lost all those things. 8 Not only those things, but I think that all things are worth nothing compared with the greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
