Through Christ We Know Our Father Completely

And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death. Philippians 3:10

Look at what the Holy Spirit has Paul write, that he may actually know God. We should want to know our Father, who is He, what is He, how is He, why is He, all of His fullness; through the power of Christ we can actually know all of God! This only makes sense, He is our Father. We can know the power of our Fathers resurrection, just as Jesus knows it! That being said, what exactly is the power of Jesus’ resurrection?

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him. For in that He died, He died unto sin once; but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. Romans 6:9-11

The power of Jesus’ resurrection is that He has died unto sin once, so that He may forever more live unto and be One with God! And since Jesus died for us, we too can know that same power and glory in our own lives! We can know exactly and completely what it is to be free from sin and what it means to be eternally one with God.

And now, O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine Own self, with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was. John 17:5

Jesus was raised from the dead to be just as He was before He was manifested on earth as a man, and God teaches us that with His righteousness, we too have the exact same thing. Faith comes from hearing that our salvation means that we are now just like Jesus! We are one with all that He is, He has given us all that He possesses, we are completely one with it! We are now members of Jesus’ body, we are now the branches of the Vine of Christ, and greater is He that is in us than anything that is in this world! As Jesus is One with and as Jesus knows God, so do we in the power of His might!
