My friend be found in Him. This takes our effort in developing ourselves as christians so that we become more like our heavenly Father, in nature. Fruit doesn’t fall far from it’s tree, you need to ask yourself what type of fruit are you. Are you the fruit of God?
I love this man Paul a great Apostle what he said, in Philippians 3:9. And that I may [actually] be found and known as in Him, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law’s demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired), but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ (the Anointed One), the [truly] right standing with God, which comes from God by [saving] faith.
He shows that his desire is that he might be actually found in CHRIST having Christ’s righteousness. How deep and how worth desiring for every child of God. He gives the purpose of why he longs to be found in CHRIST JESUS and why we shouldn’t put confidence in the flesh or physical things.
He says, verse 10. [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope]

11. That if possible I may attain to the [spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts me] out from among the dead [even while in the body].
    What’s your determined purpose?
    Do you truly want to be found in CHRIST JESUS?
    What effort are you placing on the table to attain this?
    Paul goes further to say in verse 13. I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
12. I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.
    Brothers and sisters let us make every effort possible to be found in CHRIST JESUS, to be true christians not just having a form of godliness but denying it’s power, we achieve this by forgetting the former things and focusing on Christ Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit.
