PHILIPPIANS CHP 3 VS 1-10
Paul said that i may know him. When you are born into the family of God you are circumcised by the spirit of God. Paul says in Vs 5 he was circumcised the eighth day of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin an Hebrew of the Hebrews, as touching the law, a pharisees.
You cannot know God by your five senses, you can only know him through the spirit. Colosian chp 2vs6-8. The riteousness of the old testament was by conduct, the riteousness of the new testament is by Jesus or grace, is the resurrection that empower Jesus and believers that is why Paul said that i may know him, and the power of his ressurection (Vs 10a). You must walk in the spirit to know God.
When a believer says he/she has known God he will leave the person but when you say you don't know him he should help you to know him, he will come close to you for you to know him. That is why Jesus was born into the law to fulfill the law for us. When you accept the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus you are free from every sin nature (not condemned) but when you don't accept the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus you are still under sin(condemned) John chp 3 vs 17-18, Romans chp 5:6 (why we are yet sinners Christ died for us). Romans chp 5:12-15, Jesus Christ is the only solution to sin.
When you know Christ you begin to reign. Knowing somebody is getting attached to that person that is knowing God you are attached to him. I pray God will help us to know him. Amen
