repent of our confidence in the flesh

"We need to repent not only of our sin but also of our "righteousness" when we think of it as our righteousness, which we do to prove ourselves and which we think makes us better than other people."

- Tim Chester
You Can Change pg.45

Its a crazy and counter-intuitive idea that I need to "repent of any righteousness of my own that comes from the law, so that in it's place [I] could receive the righteousness from God that depends on faith".
