Paul describes himself as having more reason for confidence in the flesh. This matters because we can become tempted to confidence in the flesh just like others. Paul gives 7 reasons he could put his faith in his works: rituals, heritage, rank, traditions, religiousness, hard work, legal righteousness. At the end of the day, he counts them as nothing compared to Christ.

1. Which of these might cause you to have confidence in the flesh.
2. Thinking about works of the flesh, how can we get to the point of saying, "I count them all as nothing for the sake of Christ."?

Philippians 3:4-6
