“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 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith.” Philippians 3:8-9
This passage is confusing to many of us. We ask “How could Paul put striving to keep the Ten Commandments and being religious on the negative side? It may not get him to Heaven, but at least those are good things.” But Paul said, “No. I count all these things but loss.” Why? Because those were the things he trusted in that kept him from the Lord.
