Knowing Christ is not about having a knowledge about His physical, historical existence, there are many Muslims, Hindus, and even the average man in the world may have an account of his physical person and literal works he did. But this knowledge does not justifies. The knowledge that God use to justify is the spritual knowledge of Christ that reveals the nature of God, it is revealed first as conviction by the Holy-Spirit to the ungodly an if the ungodly repent and believe God, God imputes the truths of Christ or the faith of Christ for the possession of the God in the heart.: Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Isaiah 53:11 by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities."
To know Christ is to have the experience of Sinfreeness that is giving when the Holy-Spirit rest in the heart as the truths of Christ or the faith of Christ. 1 John 2:3-5 KJV
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. [4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. [5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.1 John 3:24 KJV
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. 1 John 4:13 KJV
Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
