What does the Bible say about knowledge in Christ?

According to 2 Peter 1:5-6, knowledge is essential for spiritual growth. It is not merely an acknowledgment of God's existence, as even demons have that knowledge (James 2:19). Instead, true knowledge is revealed through Jesus Christ, who discloses the nature and character of God to us. As expressed in Matthew 11:27, no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those whom the Son chooses to reveal Him to. This deeper understanding manifests as we experience the gospel and comprehend our need for Christ's redemptive work in our lives.
