Are you living under the curse of the law? (self righteousness is where the curse is manifested from.)
"For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM." 11Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, "THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH." 12However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, "HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM." 13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-- for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE"-- 14in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." Gal 3
You just added to my confusion.
sorry about that. Basically if your life is as described in the list of curses, you should ask yourself if you are receiving the free gift of righteousness from the Lord, or if you are standing upon your own merit. God's grace was best described to me as unmerited favor. its something that cannot be earned, and if you try to earn it, life becomes toilsome, vanity, and chasing after the wind. let me know if there's any specific questions you have, and I'll answer to the best of my ability
