How do we know that knowing Christ is important?

Answered in 2 sources

Knowing Christ is foundational for believers because it deepens their relationship with Him and enhances their spiritual life.

The importance of knowing Christ is emphasized throughout Scripture, where it is presented as the ultimate pursuit of a believer's life. For Paul, the longing 'that I may know him' signifies a separation from earthly attachments and a commitment to spiritual growth. This yearning reflects a regenerate soul's desire to experience the fullness of Christ's love and the power of His resurrection. Knowing Christ is not merely conceptual; it is experiential and relational. This biblical knowledge leads to a transformative love, whereby believers not only grow in their understanding of His character but also engage in a fellowship of both His sufferings and His abiding presence.
