Paul's Goal Philippians 3:8

More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ.

Paul is looking back primarily to the time of his conversion.  To gain Christ, he had to turn his back on things he had always been taught to prize most highly.
