The apostle Paul expressed a desire to "know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings" Philippians 3:10. He later wrote to his "son" in the faith Timothy, "...for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day" 2 Tim 1:12. It is our exercise to study various scriptures (e.g., Acts 9;5, Philippians 3:10-14, 2 Tim 1:8-14 etc) that relay to us different aspects of the apostle's life as he got to know Him.
