Paul said he considered everything done in his own merits as “loss” (i.e. rubbish, trash) compared to knowing Jesus as Lord. Paul challenges us to follow his example (“One thing I do… v.13) and accept the invitation to press on into an ever-growing walk with the Savior, Jesus. Even Paul, who had walked with Christ for 30 years had not “arrived.” He humbly says, “not that I have already obtained this” (v.12). Paul’s invitation is to continue to progress.
