Philippians 3:4-9: Knowing Christ, Part 1

No matter how impressive they are, human achievements can’t earn a person salvation and eternal life with God. Paul had impressive credentials, but his conversion to faith in Christ wasn’t based on what he had done but on God’s grace.

When Paul considered everything he had accomplished in his life, he said it was all “loss” compared to the greatness of knowing Christ. This is a profound statement about values. To know Christ should be our ultimate goal.
