Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One), Philippians 3:8 (AMPC)
All things were made by Christ, all things exist in Him, all things are sustained by Christ, all things operate by Christ, and all things are in their proper place, order and motion by Christ. There’s therefore nothing higher or greater than knowing Christ – the all in all. To know Him is to be filled with all the fullness of God, to know Him is to have Eternal Life, to know Him is to be full of all the treasures of Wisdom and knowledge. To know Him is to be complete.
Let it be your lifetime quest to know Christ. This is the timeless and priceless privilege.
