The Apostle Paul\u2019s word: \u201cthat I may know Him\u2026\u201d (Philippians 3:10), the way it seems to its reader, refuses to consider knowledge, that is, our knowledge of Christ, an event that happened to us at a certain time, in a distant or a recent past, and then has become part of a history to which we return in our mind and our imagination. What seems manifest in the movement of its formulation is that it tells about knowledge, which is a lifetime project that a person seeks to renew every day. In the literature of the New Testament, this presupposes a total belief that Christ knows us in our details. He is Omniscient. Without this faith, it is impossible for us to know Him. I can give you many examples of what I am saying. However, I will settle for calling you to notice that Paul, in his same word, is exhorting us to build a steadfast loving relationship with the Living Christ. Knowledge is a fellowship that neither life nor death will put an end to. This is an eternity before eternity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
