Reassessing Your Wins How do you measure success? How do you know when you “win”? With this new horizon, Paul doesn’t just say that his past accomplishments are as nothing compared to “the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus” (Phil. 3:8). He says more than this: “Whatever were gains to me I now consider loss” (v. 7 NIV). It wasn’t just that those former wins don’t compare; it’s that he considers them losses because they distracted him and kept him away from his true glory and highest good: knowing Christ.
