📖 Counting Everything as Loss, Gaining Christ
Sometimes we hold tightly to achievements, possessions, or personal ambitions, thinking they define our worth. Yet Paul reminds us that nothing compares to the surpassing value of knowing Christ. When we place Jesus above everything else, we discover a joy, peace, and purpose that the world cannot offer.
True success is not measured by what we accumulate but by how closely we walk with Christ. The things we often chase can fade, but a life surrendered to Him brings lasting hope and eternal significance. May we choose each day to value Christ above all else and trust Him with every step of our journey.
📖 Scripture:
“But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.”—Philippians 3:7-11 NIV
