What does it mean to grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Growing in the knowledge of Jesus Christ means developing an intimate and relational understanding of Him, not just intellectual knowledge (Philippians 3:8).

Growing in the knowledge of Jesus Christ implies a movement beyond mere facts and doctrines to a deeper, more personal relationship with Him. Paul highlights this in Philippians 3:8, where he considers everything else loss compared to knowing Christ. This knowledge encompasses a relational aspect that transforms how we perceive God’s grace, sovereignty, and love. As we progress in understanding who Christ is, we begin to recognize His beauty, sufficiency, and the totality of our dependence on Him for salvation and sanctification, eventually leading to a heartfelt love for Him.
