Introduction  

In God's eternal plan, He established Christ as the center of the universe and filled it with Jesus Christ. In the course of time, He created man in the first place to dwell in man and then to be fully manifested in man. Therefore, everyone who has been born again by grace has received Christ as his life, but in order for the full manifestation of the glory of Jesus Christ to take place, the experience must be driven by life; not by reasoned teaching, nor by manual practice, but by the living out of life, as wheat falls into the ground and dies, but grows up and bears many grains.

Therefore, the path we are on is called the path of the inner life, which begins with being born again and saved, and then slowly grows and matures until it is filled with the fullness of the full stature of Christ, and ultimately reveals the fullness of Jesus Christ.  

When we begin to enter into this inward path of life, all our experiences are inwardly related to God; in other words, our relationship with the Lord begins in the Spirit and continues to experience God in the Spirit. Therefore, when a Christian has begun to live after the Holy Spirit and in the light of God, and has had the experience of the cross, and the outer man has been torn down, and the inner life has been growing, there is one more spiritual experience that we must pay attention to, and that is the inner understanding.  

Hosea 6:3 reads, "Let us seek to know the Lord, and let us strive to know him". The pursuit mentioned here is not the outward knowledge of God, because the outward knowledge is the knowledge of the outside, it is just the understanding of the mind, and it will soon pass away, so we have to long for and pursue the knowledge of God from the inside. From this we can see that our relationship with the Lord is based on the inner knowledge. What kind of God is this great God we believe in? What kind of relationship we have with Him depends on knowing Him from the inside.  

---

I. Knowing the Works of God

Let's read Psalm 103:7, "He made His statutes known to Moses, that Israel might know His works." Here it is stated that God taught His people Israel to know His works. We can see from the history of the Exodus of the Israelites that the first relationship between the Israelites and the Lord was to have a relationship with the Lord in terms of "works", that is to say, to know who the Lord really is.

Before the Exodus, the Lord called Moses and sent him to Pharaoh to bring the Israelites out of Egypt. And Moses answered the Lord, and said unto him, I went unto the children of Israel, and said unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you. And if they ask me, saying, What is his name, what shall I say unto them? And the Lord said unto Moses, I am he that liveth for ever: thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, He that liveth for ever hath sent me unto you. (Exodus 3:10-14) The Lord further instructed Moses to take the shepherd's staff in his hand, for I, the Lord, will bring the people of Israel into direct knowledge of the works of God.  

A.  God wants His people to know what He is doing  

How do we know that there is a God in the universe? How do we know that God is all-powerful? Undoubtedly, it is when God shows His works that we begin to know Him.  

Therefore, when Moses negotiated with Pharaoh to bring the Israelites out of Egypt, Pharaoh's heart was hardened and refused to do so. Therefore, the Lord sent a series of great plagues on the land of Egypt, which the Israelites had never seen before, and through these ten plagues that came on the land of Egypt, the Israelites came to know the Lord who had led them out of Egypt as the true and living God.  

Especially when the tenth plague killed the firstborn, the Israelites came to their senses. The whole congregation further realized that the Lord was not only true and living, but also a great and almighty God, and they followed Moses out of Egypt without fear. At that time the Bible specifically says, "With a mighty hand the Lord brought us out of slavery in Egypt." (Exodus 13:14)  

Unexpectedly, when the whole congregation of Israel reached the Red Sea, the Egyptian army came from behind, trying to take the Israelites back to the land of Egypt. When the Red Sea was in front of them and the Egyptian army was behind them, the Lord ordered Moses to stretch out his staff to the Red Sea, and immediately the waters separated and the sea became dry land. Moses then led the whole congregation of the Israelites to go down to the sea and walk through the dry land in a calm manner, and when they reached the other side of the Red Sea, the Lord told Moses to stretch out his staff to the sea, and the sea would be restored to its original state. The whole army of Pharaoh that followed the Israelites down to the sea, not even one of them was left. At that time, the Bible specifically said, "When the Lord thus saved the Israelites from the hand of the Egyptians ...... the Israelites feared the Lord ...... when they saw the great things that the Lord had done to the Egyptians" (Ex. 14:30-31). So the whole congregation rejoiced and sang and praised the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone has done marvelous things, and His glorious name forever and ever Amen, Amen .......  

B. Knowledge of God's works is in the Spirit, not outward reason

But crossing the Red Sea in peace was not the goal, so Moses followed God's command and led the whole congregation onward. They set out from the Red Sea and began to travel the wilderness road. The wilderness was endless, with no signposts to point the way, so the future was really far away and there was no way to follow it; at the same time, the wilderness road was also drought-ridden, hot, and rugged. How could these two to three million members of the congregation, including women, children, the elderly and the young, as well as tens of thousands of herds of animals, survive and walk forward?  

Thank God! Biblical history shows us that along the way, God has not ceased to show His marvelous and great works. In the daytime, the Lord led them in the pillar of cloud, and in the nighttime, He illuminated them in the pillar of fire. Thus the Lord did not leave them day after day, year after year, until they had finished the way of the wilderness. When the food they had brought out of Egypt was exhausted, the Lord sent down manna from heaven for forty years, until they entered the land of Canaan. Later, when they were tired and weary from traveling and had no water to drink, God asked Moses to strike the sounding rock with his staff, so that water would flow out of the rock and become a living fountain, supplying them with ...... water all the way. However, the Israelites' knowledge of God's works was not a spiritual knowledge, but an external rational knowledge. Therefore, Hebrews 3:9 reads, "For forty years your fathers tried me and searched me and watched my works. Their minds were often perplexed, and they did not recognize My works. Therefore the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "Tell them, 'Your carcasses shall fall in the wilderness, and whosoever of you shall be numbered, and shall murmur against me from twenty years old and upward, he shall not enter into the land which I have sworn that I will make you to dwell in,  but  only  Caleb,  the  son  of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, shall enter into it.'" (Num. 14:28-30).  

C. Born-again Spirit Recognizes the Works of God  

From this historical fact, we can see that the adults of that generation, because of their confusion and not recognizing the works of God, were rebellious and perished in the wilderness. But there were only two of them, Caleb and Joshua, who "had another mind and another spirit, which followed me alone, and I led him into the land whither he went" (Num. 14:24; 32:12; Deut. 1:36). The word "another mind" in the original language is "another spirit," which refers to the Holy Spirit. Spiritual means to know the works of God in the revelation of the Holy Spirit. In terms of experience, when we are saved by grace and born again, we naturally realize that Jesus is God, He is the Savior, and His works are marvelous and great. This is a very important experience and one that must always be lived out.  

When Joshua succeeded Moses and led the people of that generation into Canaan, the Bible says, "When Joshua sent the people of Israel, they went to their own land and occupied it. And all the people served the Lord while Joshua lived and while Joshua died, while the elders remained, who had seen the great things which the Lord had done for Israel" (Judges 2:6-7).  

But after the death of Joshua, all the people of that generation also returned to their fathers, and afterward, another generation arose, because they "did not know the LORD, nor the things which the Lord had done for the children of Israel. And the children of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baal, and forsook the LORD, who had led them out of Egypt" (Judges 2:10-12).  

It is a common phenomenon in churches today that the first generation of believers in Jesus is very godly, but the second generation becomes lukewarm, and the third generation leaves the Lord Jesus. The biggest reason for this is that they do not have a direct relationship with the Lord, they do not have a real experience of Jesus, so they only have an outside knowledge of Him. I don't realize that in order for a Christian to be strong in faith and follow the Lord to the end, it is necessary to know the Lord inwardly, to have revelation inwardly, and to know God's works in order to follow the Lord until the end of the road.  

A young sister from Taiwan who came to Manila for a music evangelism program was going to come to us and present a guzheng program. This sister serves the Lord with her music, and she is a third-generation Christian, and her father and grandfather both feared the Lord and served Him. How is it that the third generation can still live godly lives for the Lord? It is because she personally saw God's work in her grandfather. Shortly after his surgery for stomach cancer, her grandfather found gallbladder cancer, and soon after he recovered from the surgery, he had cancer in his intestines, and then he had a bunch of them cut out by surgery, and he is still healthy and living for the Lord, and he is dedicated to serving Him. He has published a testimonial in which he said that he has experienced the Lord's miracles for 20 to 30 years, and that he serves the Lord with joy and thanksgiving every day, and that his son has seen God's works in his father, and his grandson has seen God's works in his grandfather, and so the three generations have always been in awe of the Lord and have served the Lord. Therefore, Christians must experience God's living leadership through the born-again spirit to know God's works, and because of this knowledge, they can follow the Lord all the days of their lives.  

 II. Knowing the Laws of God 

As a Christian's spiritual life grows, he not only recognizes that God is true, living, and faithful, but he also recognizes God's laws. For our God is a God of laws, and He acts according to them. Therefore, in order to serve God, we must know God's laws. This is one of the main points of our training for the youth every Saturday night. If you don't know God's rules, you will sin against God, and if you don't follow God's way of doing things, your service will be futile and ineffective. Therefore, Psalm 103:7 tells us, "He (God) made Moses aware of His rules". This shows that in order to serve the Lord, one must know God's rules.  

A.  God told Moses to know God's laws

On that day, when the Korahites and the 250 leaders of the Israelites came together to attack Moses and Aaron, the Lord split the earth and made them fall alive into the Hades. The day after this tragedy, when the whole congregation of Israel was complaining against Moses, a cloud suddenly appeared and the glory of the Lord appeared. Then the Lord commanded Moses, saying, depart from this congregation, that I may destroy them in the twinkling of an eye. And immediately the plague was upon the people, and it is written, "And they fell down, both of them, to the ground. And Moses said unto Aaron, Take thy censer, and put fire upon the altar thereof, and add incense thereto, and bring it quickly unto the congregation, to make atonement for them ...... And Aaron brought it according to the word of Moses ...... Not knowing that the pestilence had broken out among the people, he added the incense, and made atonement for the people. And he stood in the midst of the living and the dead, and the pestilence ceased." (Num. 16:44-48)  

This shows that Moses knew God's law, and knew that where there is atonement, there is forgiveness. No matter how great the sin, God's forgiveness would come when there is atonement. On the other hand, it also says that God made Moses came to know His laws and ruled the people. Moses worked with God because of his knowledge of God's laws.

B.  Born-again Spirit recognizes God's Laws  

Paul was one of God's most used apostles. When he wrote his letters to the churches in different places, he often ended by asking the saints there to pray for him. Did a man so highly used by God need the saints to pray for him?

Oh! Paul knew God's law, and he knew that he needed prayer behind him to go out and work for the Lord, to preach the gospel, to build up the churches, and to strengthen the saints, and so at the end of his letters he asked the saints to pray for him, because God has a law of doing things by prayer. Recently I was reading Watchman Nee's testimony about how he learned to lead people to the Lord. He testified that since he was saved, he had a heart of love for the souls of sinners in him, so he was constantly preaching the gospel and testifying to his classmates at school, and this went on for about a year, but no one was saved. Later, he met a westerner, Miss Gooes, who asked him how many people he had saved, and he replied, "I preached the gospel to my classmates, but they didn't like to listen to it and wouldn't believe it. She asked Brother Nee how he had saved some people. He replied, "I preached the gospel to my classmates, but they didn't like to listen and wouldn't believe. He replied, "I just drag people to listen to me regardless of whether they listen or not." Rabbi Lau then instructed him that this is not the way to serve God. You should speak to God before you speak to people. You should pray to God first, write down the names of your classmates, ask God which one He wants you to pray for, pray for them daily by name, and then when God arranges for an opportunity, witness to them. Brother Nee followed the rules of God's work as instructed by Rabbi Liu, praying behind his back day after day and testifying whenever he had the opportunity. Sure enough, after a few months, of the 60 to 70 people in his notebook, all but one were saved. Because he fulfilled the law of God's work that the will of God passes through prayer, and he knew that God works through prayer. Of course, there are many other laws in the Bible, so we will just mention one.  

III. Knowing God Himself  

Hebrews 8:10-11 reads, "And the Lord said, after those days, this is my covenant with the house of Israel: I will put my law in their hearts, and write it on their minds; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not every man teach his neighbor, and his brother, saying, Thou shalt know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them."  

A.  Everyone from the least to the greatest will know God

The book of Hebrews tells us explicitly that in the New Testament era, the Lord has put the law of life (eternal life) in us. This is a characteristic of the New Testament, so that those who have been born again from the least to the greatest can know our Lord directly. There is no need to be taught by others, for teaching is external, but only the knowledge by the revelation of the Holy Spirit is internal. It is true that the Lord often opens us to the knowledge of Christ through the words of the pulpit, such as evangelistic meetings that open our eyes to Jesus as Savior, and message meetings that reveal Christ to us, so that we may develop a relationship with Him, or know Him better, so that we can keep moving forward to walk in His ways. However, the knowledge of the Lord Himself can only be realized through the revelation of the Holy Spirit in the individual.  

B. Realize that all the fullness of God is in Christ

Colossians 2:9 reads, "For in Christ dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily and spiritually.” This plainly tells us that if we know Christ, we know God. For example, one day when Jesus was living with His disciples on earth, He revealed to them, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father.” “Philip said unto him, ‘Lord show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied. And Jesus said unto him, Philip, I have been with you a long time, and yet knowest thou not me? If anyone has seen me, he has seen the Father; how can you say, "Show us the Father?’” (John 14:9) It means that all the fullness of God, whether it is God's life, love, faithfulness, justice, holiness, glory, power, wisdom, etc. ...... are all in Christ Jesus, so when we know Christ, we also recognize God.  

C.  Revelation of the Born Again Spirit to Know Christ

Therefore, the apostle Paul tells us in Ephesians 1:17, "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, that you may know Him truly." It says here that we know the Lord Jesus by the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. Therefore, after we are born again, we have to pray, and this prayer enables us to receive the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation, so that we can "truly" know Him, that is to say, we can know Him from inside, and only the knowledge of the revelation is everlasting and unshakable.  

On the day of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, that is, on the first day of the seventh month, early in the morning, when it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb of Jesus, and saw the stone removed from the tomb, and the disciples also saw it, and they returned to their own homes, because they saw that Jesus was no longer there. But Mary did not leave, she insisted on standing outside the tomb and weeping. Her longing heart to see the Lord, her heart to find the Lord, was seen by Jesus, so the Lord could not help but appear to her. When Jesus appeared to her, he asked her, "Woman, why are you weeping? At first, Mary thought it was the gardener. Yes, from the outside, the Lord was a gardener, but she had not yet seen it from the inside, she had not yet realized that Jesus had been resurrected. So she said unto Jesus, Sir, if thou hast removed him, tell me: and Jesus said unto her, Mary. And the Scripture said, "And Mary turned to him." (John 20:16) This turning around meant that she was enlightened by the Holy Spirit in her heart, and she immediately said to Jesus in Hebrew, "Rabboni" (John 20:16), which means that she knew the Lord Jesus in her heart.  

IV. Knowing Christ  

We know Christ inwardly, sometimes through the Bible, through prayer, through circumstances, or through our daily experiences. There are three things that we need to provide in order to know Christ:  

A.  Revelation of Christ from within  

A Christian's knowledge of Christ begins with the revelation of Christ. In Galatians 1:16, Paul said, "God...was pleased to reveal His Son in my heart," it is an indication of the Christian's first relationship with the Lord. This means that the first time a Christian has a relationship with the Lord is through the revelation of Christ. In fact, before Paul said this, he first traced back his past experiences and said that because he only knew Jesus as a Jew from the outside, many people followed Him and seemed to be confused by Him, thinking that the name Nazarene should be attacked, so he did his best to persecute the believers in Jesus, and brutalized and persecuted the church.  

On that day, however, as he was leaving Jerusalem by order of the high priest with some attendants to arrest Christians in Damascus, while he was walking, a great light suddenly shone from heaven on all sides, and as soon as it had struck him, he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? And Paul came to his senses at the question, and said to the Lord, "Who art thou, O Lord?" And the Lord said to him, "I am Jesus whom you are persecuting." This statement, this revelation of a heavenly vision, was deeply rooted in Paul's heart, and this manifestation enabled Paul to know Christ from the inside.  

Therefore Paul said, "God was pleased to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles" (Gal. 1:16). That is, if God had not been pleased to reveal His Son to me, I should have died and perished. So after he received the revelation, his whole outlook on life changed, and he made it his life's goal to pursue Christ. He went into the city to promote Jesus as the Son of God and to prove that Jesus is the Christ. From our experience, when we participate in an evangelistic meeting or small group evangelism, through the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit, we can see in our spirit and realize that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior of the world. It is natural to pray and accept Jesus, which is called receiving the revelation of the Son of God in our hearts. Unfortunately, most Christians stop at knowing Jesus as their Savior for the rest of their lives. Unbeknownst to them, this realization is only the beginning of the process. We must continue to seek to know this rich and infinite Christ.  

B.  Christ is our life

Therefore, after receiving the revelation of the Holy Spirit, a Christian must further realize that Christ is our life. In Galatians 1:16, Paul speaks of "being enlightened by the Son of God", that is, he refers to the indwelling of Christ, and then in chapter 2:20 he further says, "I have been crucified with Christ, and now it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me." This shows that he had come to a better knowledge of the Lord. He not only knew that Christ was the Son of God, but he had further received the revelation of Christ as the life of the world. He saw that "I have been crucified with Christ, and I, the sinner, am dead; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. It is now Christ who is my life.  

Colossians 3:4 reads, "Christ is our life." And then verse 11 says, "Christ is all in all". This means that the knowledge of Christ is always progressing and expanding. As the revelation of the Holy Spirit increases and expands to the end, we will see that Christ is all in all.  

For example, when you are sick, you pray to the Lord, and you are healed, you not only know Jesus Christ as Savior, but you know Him as the Great Physician. Or if you are tired and weak before the meeting, but wonderfully, after you barely attend the meeting, your physical and mental weakness disappears, then you further realize that Christ is the power. ...... The more you experience, the more you know Him, and the more the revelation is enlarged.  

C. The Gospel of John reveals that Christ is our life, our everything

The Gospel of John has many meanings, but we will look at it from the point of view of "Christ as our life:  

1. Christ dwells in the Spirit as life  

In the contact between Jesus and individuals, see chapter 3, Nicodemus came to Jesus that night and Jesus talked to him about being born again. Jesus told him that unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus did not understand, so Jesus took great pains to tell him that unless a man is born of water and the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. This means that only after being born again can one have the experience of indwelling life. At the same time, only those who have been born again can be enlightened to see the Kingdom of God and understand the things of the Kingdom of God. In other words, Christ has to live in the spirit as our life.  

2. Christ is the Water of Life  

Chapter 4 tells us that on that day at about noon, Jesus passed through Samaria and came to Jacob's well in Sychar and waited for the Samaritan woman to come and draw water. When she came, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink." She answered him, "You are a Jew, I'm a Samaritan woman, why do you ask me for a drink?" Then Jesus answered her, saying, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." He further said to her, "Whoever drinks of the water I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life. At that time, the woman saw that Jesus' speech was full of sense, and that he must be a man of great knowledge. So she said to Jesus, "Sir, please give me this water." Jesus answered her, "Go and tell your husband to come here too." The woman said to Jesus, "I don't have a husband." Jesus said, "It is good for you to say you don't have a husband, because you have five husbands." The woman realized that Jesus was not just a learned man, but He was not just a man, He was a prophet. Jesus further explained to her that God is a Spirit, so those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. The woman then said, "I know that the Messiah (Christ) is coming, and when He comes, He will tell us all things." Jesus said, "I, who speaks to you, am He." Now when the Samaritan woman had received a revelation, and had met Christ, she left her pitcher of water, and went out into the city, and said unto the multitude, Behold, there is a man that speaketh unto me all things whatsoever I have always done: is this the Christ? So the people went out of the city to Jesus, and many of them believed in Him.  

This historical fact shows us that Christ is the water of our life. Water is for quenching one's thirst, and it is a sign of fulfillment. Therefore, when Christians believe and accept Jesus and receive the water of life, they will be satisfied.  

3. Christ is the Bread of Life  

Chapter 6 records that Jesus said to the crowd following Him, "Our [Israelite] fathers fed on manna in the wilderness. But the bread from heaven was not given to you by Moses, but the true bread from heaven has been given to you by my Father". And they said, "Lord! Give us this bread always." Jesus said, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst." This means that Christ is our satiety.  

To be "satisfied" is to stop our desires from chasing after the things of this world. But the "bread of life" makes us full, it makes our spirit strong and active to cope with difficult circumstances. Through this experience, every morning when we get up and approach the Lord in prayer, we receive the provision of Jesus Christ from God's Word (the Bible), just as the people of Israel ate the manna in the old days, and were strengthened to walk the roads of the wilderness.

4. Christ is the Light of Life  

In each chapter of the Gospel of John, Jesus repeatedly shows us in different capacities that He is to be experienced as our life. In chapter 8, Christ is spoken of as the light of life. First "the water of life," then "the bread of life," and then "Jesus said to them, "I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life" (John 8:12).

The Christian experience is the story of life. Christ is our life so that we may have the light of His life. "If a person is not in the light, he does not know his own difficulties and does not recognize his own faults, so he will always condemn others and look down on them. Sometimes when brothers and sisters are weak, fail, or leave the Lord, if we are not in the light, we will either judge or condemn them. If we are not in the light, we will either judge or condemn them, not realizing that if you and I were not kept by the Lord, we would be even more pitiful than they are. It is only when the light comes that we realize that although we have not left the Lord outside, we have abandoned our initial love for Him, and slowly draw nearer to Him, and see that the time we spend reading and praying is too short, and that our ministry is too sloppy and perfunctory. ...... Instead, we confess our sins in the light, and receive adjustments, and then we are led to walk in the way of the Lord.  

5. Christ is everything in life  

In John 8:28, Jesus concluded, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, you will know that 'I am'”. The "I AM" means that Christ is able to meet all our needs. As far as experience is concerned, you say, "Lord, I am weak" but the Lord says, "I am the strength", you are sorrowful and in pain, but the Lord is your joy and comfort; you are doubtful in your heart, but the Lord is faithful; you are quick-tempered, but the Lord is your gentleness and patience; you are foolish, but the Lord is your wisdom.

Watchman Nee was sitting with a coworker one afternoon, and suddenly he asked the co-worker, "Brother, what is patience? This brother was puzzled because the question was too simple. We all know what patience is, but since the question came from Brother Nee, there must be something to it, so the co-worker did not dare to answer. Brother Nee then asked what patience was, and the co-worker answered: "To me, patience is a kind of endurance. People treat you bitterly, they persecute you, but you endure.” Brother Nee shook his head and said, "No," and the co-worker said, "It is not”. The co-worker then said, "Then please tell me what patience is." Brother Nee replied, "Patience is Christ." The coworker then asked, "Brother, what do you mean by patience is Christ? Could you please explain?" Brother Nee did not explain a word, but repeated over and over again that patience is Christ. So the two of them stayed in that state of mind for a long time, and they did not ask or say anything else until evening. When the co-worker returned to his place, he was still confused and went to his room to pray, "Lord, patience is Christ, what does this mean?” Thank God, one day suddenly his inner eyes were opened and he saw that Christ Himself is my patience. True patience is not an act, but Christ living out of me.

(This  testimony  is  quoted  from "Prophecies of Divine Revelation for the Present Age," p.330)  

Thank God! God has made Christ the answer to all our questions, Christ is our life and everything. I hope that the Lord will be gracious to us so that we will seek to know Christ as our life and everything in our lives!
