The Surpassing Worth of Knowing Christ

In Philippians 3:1-11 Paul gives harsh warnings against putting any confidence in the flesh concerning one's relationship with God. Paul had an impressive resume of his own that he once thought were spiritual assets (Phil. 3:4-6). That all changed when he encountered the "surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord" (Phil. 3:7-8). The perfect resume of Jesus Christ is what we need, and that is what God gladly gives us by grace through faith.
