Another point is we don't just experience Christ in things we do, e.g. as obedience, as patience, as humility, etc. We also experience him simply for what he is, e.g. as King, Friend, Brother, Lover, Savior, Confidant, Living Water, Bread of Life, Life, and on and on. We experience HIM. Christ is infinite. So there are bound to be an infinite number of ways to experience him. There are bound to be an infinite number of ways to experience him that we have not even imagined yet, and which aren't specified in the Bible. Some are indescribable, like colors or music. You can experience them, but you have a hard time putting them into words. So I don't think everything needs to be specified, because there are some things that are simply beyond our specification. We just experience them. The best we can say is "Wonderful."

Let me put it another way. You are married, right? Do you think of experiencing your wife as "discrete" things? Is that really how you experience another person? Is it important to define and put into words how you experience her as you are doing so? I mean, I'm sure she loves your meaningful, discrete, tangible and achievable poetry on Valentine's Day. And to be fair the Song of Songs was quite descriptive. But I wouldn't say describing an experience is essential to having it, though it certainly has its place and is fun to try, later.
