What things were gain to me

Back to Man's religion & God's religion

"But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ." Philippians 3:7

This includes the loss of all your fancied holiness—of all your vaunted strength—of all your natural or acquired wisdom—of all your boasted knowledge—in a word, of everything increature religion of which the heart is proud, and in which it takes delight.

All, all must be counted loss for Christ's sake—all, all must be sacrificed to His bleeding, dying love. Our dearest joys—our fondest hopes—our most cherished idols—must all sink and give way to the grace, blood, and love of an incarnate God.
