[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope] (Phil 3:10 AMP)
I’ve been thinking about “the power that outflows from His resurrection.” What power is that? What does it do in my life? I decided it is the power that transforms and enables. I want to be different than I am, and I want to do the work of his Kingdom. By the redeeming power of his death and resurrection the Holy Spirit comes into me, renews (recreates) me, and works through me to accomplish his will and fulfill his plan. As I surrender (which must necessarily include repentance), he performs.
