Philippians 3:8

Philippians 3:8 But moreover I also count all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as refuse that I may gain Christ

After we receive the excellency of the knowledge of Christ, we shall be willing to suffer the loss of all tings and count them refuse in order to gain Christ and be found in Him. As a result, we shall know Christ experientially. If we do not have the excellency of the knowledge of Christ, we shall not be found in Christ, for it is having the excellency of the knowlege of Christ which makes us willing to suffer the loss of all things and count them as refuse in order to gain Christ and be found in Him. Then, once we have gained Christ and are found in Him, we shall know Him; that is, we shall enjoy Him and experience Him.
