| Phi 3:9 |
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: |
| Phi 3:10 |
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; |
There is a place I can be found, and that place is in Him. In Him are His promises, His peace, His provision, His love. The word “found” in this scripture is: to see or perceive. I can see or perceive that I am in Him and He is in me. What a joy and confidence it is to know that I am not forsaken. He is in me and I am in Him. I have become one with Him and He is always with me. I am like He is, not having my own righteousness that comes through the law or my ability to perform, but a righteousness that is mine through believing in His finished work. When I see Him as the source of my righteousness I will know, understand and become acquainted with Him. As I see Him and what he suffered and died for, I can rest in His unfailing love and be confident that all the power I need is in Him and that He is in me.
