Most everyone wants to gain success in whatever their job is in life. A student wants to gain good grades. An employee wants to gain a promotion. A politician wants to gain recognition.
My servant Paul gained much success as a religious leader. However, he used his success in the wrong way. He persecuted those who did not believe as he did.
After his encounter with Me and My death and resurrection, Paul realized that what he had gained, he counted as loss. He wrote: "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ." Paul became godly after He believed in Me, and he also wrote to Timothy and said, "But godliness with contentment is great gain." Paul finally learned that he could always be content because I was with Him.
PHILIPPIANS 3:7;1 TIMOTHY 6:6
