Why would we have confidence in the flesh? It means that we believe that we can do anything, even save ourselves by all the good works we do. However that's not the case at all. Works will not get us anywhere. Only through faith in Christ.
Philippians 3:7-10
But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ- the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
Knowing Jesus and accepting him as my Saviour has changed my lifestyle completely. I see friends who don't know of God's love and I can see myself doing what they're doing if God hadn't found me. My beliefs are now rooted in something so good and so great, and it will take me on an exciting, but righteous ride of life. Things of the world don't seem as important to me now then continuing to grow as a child of God and disciple of Christ.
