To know Christ:
Believe Jesus is the Messiah.
Believe Jesus is the Son of God.
Realize the Son is one God with his Father.
Believe Jesus being God is the Eternal Life.
Believe Jesus being God is the Righteousness of God.
Realize that Christ came into the world
as our Righteous Substitute,
who lived a perfect life for us,
keeping the law of God without sin for us
as only God could ever do,
went to the cross for us,
died for us, and rose again.
Realize that on the cross,
Jesus paid for our sins as though his,
so that we could have eternal life
as though his righteousness were ours.
The moment anyone trusts in Christ alone for salvation,
rather than in their own supposed "righteousness",
Christ regards his own righteousness, he being God,
as though it were ours, so that we have eternal life.
