Philippians 3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—
Romans 3:10 as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one;
Romans 3:26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Given that all statements are true we must reconcile just how we have access to Jesus who is righteous because we have no righteousness of our own. Access by faith does not make His righteousness ours. We do not own it.
This life we live in the flesh keeps us from being righteous. This is why our final translation will come when we leave this body behind.
Philippians 3:21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
Those bodies will not be like the one that was crucified but rather the one seen on the mount of transfiguration.
Matthew 17:1-2 English Standard Version
The Transfiguration
1 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.
Those three disciples were allowed to see into eternity so we could have a glimpse of Jesus as He sits on the throne of heaven. Our hope is in their witness, to understand that on that day we might have a body worthy of its own righteousness.
Psalm 37:7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
We are impatient people.
This life we live is surrounded with instant gratification with likes, follows, agreements, and praise from people who agree with us. If we live for the moment we have lost sight of the final results, if we have a hope for a new life. Being born again means change, not perfection.
