Paul wanted to know Christ - Philippians 3:10-11

Did he not know him yet?

• Three days of fasting and prayer? - Acts 9:9
• After 3 years of personal training? - Galatians 1:11-24
• After a visit to the 3 heaven? - 2 Corinthians 12:1-6

Geek verb ginoskein - close to intimacy of marriage

Paul knew about Jesus
He was will aware that simply doing the right thing did not give him intimacy

Do we really know Christ?
To become like him in his death is become like him in life:

• Give when you are tired
• Pray when you do not want to
• Stand your ground against emotions and thoughts
• Overcome fear and to love in practical, unselfish way

To live like this is to know Christ
The spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you - Romans 8:11
Key Phrase: To become like him in his death is become like him in life
