…but what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count then M as rubbish, that I might gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I MAY (not might) know Him (His PERSON) and the power of His resurrection (HIS POWER), and the fellowship of His sufferings (His PASSION), being conformed to His death (The PROCESS). If by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Resurrection Power◦Philippians 3:10 “that I may know Him and the

power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,” (NKJV)

To understand the death of Christ.

To understand why He suffered on the cross.

Philippians 3:11 “if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.” (NKJV)
