You might ask “What is being un-covered?”
And the answer is “unrighteousness,” aka self-righteousness, masquerading as “faith;” but it is “false.”
Our former pastor would often use the expression “Let's take off our masks (or, facade of false pretence).”
[Pastor; Rom 1:18]
Our (own) faith is “false,” in the sense that we deceive ourselves by it ...having confidence in our (own) 'believing,' rather than having confidence in Him.
[Pastor; Phil 3:3]
“Unrighteousness,” or self-righteousness (aka, living by what we do) is “of the law;” like 'legal righteousness.' While “that which is through the 'faith' of Christ (aka, living by what He does IN/thru us) is the righteousness which is of God ...” [Pastor; Phil 3:9]
It is written: “Except the Lord build the house (or build us up in our 'most holy faith'), (our) labour (or, our do-it-yourself efforts would be) in vain ...” [Psalms 127:1]
The administration of “faith” in our lives contributes to the working out of our spiritual maturity, that we may grow up (or, be complete) IN Him, needing nothing added.
[Pastor; Jas 1:4]
