In Philippians 3:1-11, Paul details his gospel centered-ness. He counts every previous attachment, source of pride, identity marker, and achievement as trash for sake of knowing the surpassing worth of Jesus Christ. His ideas on spiritual growth are simple but will be followed by few: gain Christ by being found in him through faith, knowing Christ and the power of his resurrection, sharing in Christ's suffering by becoming like him in his death, and keeping totally focused on attaining the resurrection from the dead. This requires a complete re-prioritization of our lives.
