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.

We conclude our series on "Knowing Christ," which is based on Paul's earnest desire: "that I may know Him" (Phil. 3:10). Paul's focus was on knowing Christ by experiencing Him in three specific ways: 1) the power of His resurrection, 2) the fellowship of His sufferings, and 3) being conformed to His death. This morning, we consider the meaning of this third aspect, which is the key to truly experiencing Christ in our lives. We examine what it means to be conformed to Christ's death, considering what it accomplished on our behalf (Romans 6) as well as how Christ faced coming into the world and experiencing the agony of the cross (Phil. 2:3-8). Looking to Christ as our example, we also consider how we can realize this experience in our lives.
