After warning his readers about the false circumcision, those teachers whose character and conduct were fleshly and ungodly (3:1-7), Paul goes on to clearly testify to his own break with the past and his total commitment to Jesus Christ. He considered his past accomplishments as being a total loss and a waste, but intimately knowing Christ Jesus as Lord was of surpassing value, fully worth the great exchange and leaving no regrets. Paul's singular goal was to press on toward Christlikeness, preparing for the upward call of God in Christ Jesus when He returns. This prize completely guided his every attitude and action, and Paul reminded every believer of this responsibility.
