In fact, the knowledge of Christ Paul sought was anything but mystical. What he longed to know was the power of Christ’s resurrection, the fellowship of His sufferings, and conformity to His death.
Scripture suggests at least five aspects of true intimacy with Christ:
The Intimacy of Faith
The Intimacy of True WorshipThe Intimacy of Prayer
The Intimacy of ObedienceThe Intimacy of Suffering
Notice that those are not advanced skills for second-level Christians. They are the most elementary issues of the Christian life.
