“It is to know Jesus Christ as He is revealed to man in the Word of God. This is the secret of life and of Christian living (see John 17:3).” (Page 91)
“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,’ he uses the Greek word epignosis, meaning ‘super knowledge.’ It is a knowledge which comes by the Holy Spirit’s taking the things of Christ and making them real to us.” (Page 18)
“How will ‘grace and peace be multiplied unto you’? Will it be through some vision you have? Oh, no—‘through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.’” (Page 17)
“If you are a Christian, you must know Christ. That means not to know about Him but to know Him—there is a great difference there.” (Page xi)
“This is the righteousness which is made over to us when we trust Christ as Savior. You see, He not only subtracts our sin, He also adds to us His own righteousness. We are not like criminals who have been pardoned and turned loose; we have been given a standing before God, and that standing is in Christ—accepted in the beloved!” (Pages 16–17)
