Pegged

By what standard does my resume derive its value?

But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
⏤ Philippians 3:7-8a

The value of an art piece is determined at auction. What will someone pay for it today? Currencies can be valued at auction or pegged to a standard, like gold. Paul judged the value of everything by the standard of knowing Jesus, which is eternal life. By comparison, his basket of achievements, qualifications, merits, and possessions was a loss. Garbage. Dung.
