That I Might Gain

For His sake I have suffered the loss of
all things and count them but rubbish in
order that I might gain Christ. 
Phil 3:8B

Have I suffered the loss of all things as
Paul penned, or only some things?

What do I consider essential to my well
being?

What does it mean--'that I may gain
Christ?' That He is foremost, essential,
foundational, to my life and my well
being. First and last? Do I believe this
with my whole heart in truth? Or, am
I a spectator of truth?

Christians in Iran risk everything dear
to them when they decide to follow
Christ Jesus. Have I counted the cost?
