...have no confidence in the flesh (Phil. 3:3)

God does not give victory to the flesh. All victory is in Jesus Christ; all victory is in Who He Is and What He accomplished for us at Calvary. Those who are proclaiming Jesus, but forsaking the Cross are wrestling with God. They are trying to bring about victory by bypassing the "Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus; God's prescribed order of victory over sin, the world, the flesh, and the Devil (Rom. 8:2)." This is why God (Jehovah, i.e., "a pre-incarnate appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ") touched the hollow of Jacob thigh (type of the flesh). We learn from this, "Jacob the heel catcher," went from wrestling to clinging. The flesh is now crippled, depending on God's blessing(s). The sentence of death must be written on the flesh; the power of the Cross must be entered into before we can steadily walk with God.

Remember, if you leave the Cross, you walk away from God; you enter the "Law of sin and death (Romans 8:2, Galatians 5:19-21)." Most Christians have left their First Love (the Cross). They are proclaiming Jesus, but forsaking the Cross (lukewarm). This is called "Spiritual Adultery." If it continues, the scripture says the light is removed! Revelation 2:1-7; Revelation 3:14-19

The only way to God is through Jesus Christ (John 14:6)...the only way to Jesus Christ is by the Means of the Cross (Luke 14:27). The only way to the Cross is a denial of self (Luke 9:23). If any person tries to come any other way, Jesus says, "they are a thief and a robber" (John 10:1).

Let all understand, God has no other way, no other path, and no other solution - only the Cross. If the Cross is ignored, so is all forgiveness of sin.

But to him who works not (doesn’t trust in works for Salvation or Righteousness), but believes on Him Who Justifies the ungodly (through Christ and the Cross), his faith is counted for Righteousness (God awards Righteousness only on the basis of Faith in Christ and His Finished Work).” Romans 4:5

Good day, JSM

Really need a wider context "him who Justifies the ungodly" is whom? Does an ungodly person have faith?

Justified is something said about you.
Our Faith is gifted by the hand of God and always finds it's object in the Son.

In Him,

Bill

The Holy Spirit through the Apostle has declared the entirety of mankind and for all time, as ungodly (Romans 3:10, Romans 3:23).
