Philippians 3:7 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.

Paul had once been quite an over-achiever in spiritual and religious matters. He gave more, prayed more, learned more, and followed the law more than anybody else, and was quite proud of himself. No more, he says. None of that mattered one bit when he considered what Christ had done for him. It was all nothing compared to the glory of the grace of the Lord Jesus.
