God Unfolds your past and puts in proper perspective those things that are behind. So, you count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege of the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus your Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him; of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly.

And that you may actually be found and known as in Him, not having any self-achieved righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law's demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired), but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ, the right standing with God, which comes from God by saving faith. (‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3:8-9‬)

Listen you who receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority - power, privilege, right - to become the child of God, that is, to those who believe in and rely on His name–(Isa 56:5, John‬ ‭1:12‬)

Finally, I confess all my sins to you Lord and stop trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.

Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time, that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment.

For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. Interlude The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” (Psalms‬ ‭32:5-8‬)
