Found

Phil. 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:”

I am found in Him because that is where my life is hidden. This life is who I really am, 1 Cor. 15:10. It is my true nature which is based on the revelation of Him, His righteousness, faith and grace.

Col. 3:3, “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”

Something that is hidden can either stay hidden or be found, Gal. 1:15-16, 3:23, Eph. 1:4, Matt. 5:15 (NIV).

I am found by grace through Christ revealing Himself in me by His faith. If I am found in Him, this desire to seek elsewhere for my identity is null and cannot compare. Is this what Paul says in Phil. 3:7-8 ?

As I grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, I grow in His righteousness which is not by the law or anything I could ever perform or do. In this process, I am found. I am divinely and supernaturally identified. The assurance of being found in Him is constantly reinforced by compounding, inexhaustible, fresh, new, real, daily revelation of Him which roots me deeper in Him and reinforces His nature, His righteousness nature, which is who I really am in Him by grace.
