To have fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The Apostle did not say that he only enters into the power of His resurrection, but he said: "...that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death" (Phil.3: 10) and "I have been crucified with Christ" (Gal.2: 20). The phrase dying with Christ is repeated many times in his Epistle to the Romans (Rom.6).
