Yes,
let us know (recognize, be acquainted with, and understand) Him; let us
be zealous to know the Lord [to appreciate, give heed to, and cherish
Him]. (Hosea 6:3 AMP)
[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. . . . Not
that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made
perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own. . . . I
do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own
[yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what
lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward. (Philippians 3:10–14 AMP)
