Knowing Christ

Practical Christian Living, Topical Studies

In Philippians 3:10, the Apostle Paul expresses his heartfelt desire, “that I may know Him (Christ).” Paul had known Christ for many years as his Savior and Lord, so what did he mean? Paul desired to know Jesus Christ more deeply through experiencing a close, personal relationship with Him on a daily basis. In this series of Bible messages, we explore how we, as believers in Christ, can experience this same thing in our own lives.

These Bible messages entitled “Knowing Christ” were preached by Pastor Gregg Bing in 2021 during the morning worship services at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

Christ in Paul's Epistles - the Church - Colossians

Knowing Christ

The book of Colossians is the third book in the group of Paul's epistles (Eph., Phil., and Col.), which speak of Christ and His Church. The focus of the Colossian letter is the truth that Christ is the Head of the church, which is His body. The Colossians saints were being subjected to false teaching that did not uphold Christ as our Head and did not hold fast to Him as our Head. In answering these false teachers, Paul declares and expounds on two doctrines about Christ: 1) the superiority of Christ - that He is very God, and 2) the sufficiency of Christ's death and resurrection - that it was enough to pay for our sins in full and give us eternal life. If we are to truly know Christ, we must see that He is our life.
