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.

The Mystery of Christ
With the setting aside of Israel at the close of the book of Acts, Paul writes several letters from his prison house in Rome. In these prison epistles, he fully unveils a new plan and purpose of God for a new body of believers, the Church, living in a new dispensation of Grace. This truth was kept a mystery from men of past ages, until it was made known to and through the Apostle Paul (Eph. 3:1-9).
From Series: "The Key to Understanding the Bible"
The key which unlocks the meaning of God's Word is found in 2 Timothy 2:15: "rightly dividing the Word of truth." This means approaching God's Word from a dispensational perspective; recognizing that throughout history God has dealt with different people, over different time periods, in different ways, and for different purposes. These messages demonstrate the importance of this principle for interpreting and understanding God's Word by providing a dispensational overview of the Bible, from Genesis to the Revelation.
