Do I see all that could be advantageous to me as more than just an acceptable loss in comparison to Christ? Yes! Knowing Him is far better than anything I could accumulate or try to hold on to. So all riches, notoriety, and anything else I could have run after are as Paul said here, worthless and what is thrown to the dogs, garbage. It has no eternal use. Instead, I have gained Christ Himself, God in me!
Philippians 3:7-8
But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
