To experience intimacy with Christ as He makes himself real to us, we must obey Him in every dimension [John 14:21].

To experience the holy presence of Christ, we must permit His Spirit to change our behavior [Galatians 5:22-25].

To experience the power that raised Christ from the dead, we must yearn for a moral resurrection [Romans 6:4].

To experience the joyful fellowship of Christ’s sufferings, we must walk in His footsteps day by day [1 Peter 2:21].

To experience the lifestyle of Christ’s servanthood, we must die to self at the foot of the cross [Galatians 2:20].

To experience transformation from the inside out, we must resist cultural pressure to conform to evil [Romans 12:2].

To experience the mind of Christ, we must repent of rebellious thoughts and learn His way [2 Corinthians 10:5].
