3"And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."


The Holy Spirit substantiates what Jesus said about God. He is Christ’s Father and ours. Whoever is aware of this divine mystery and believes in him has eternal life. There is no other key for knowing God except in the Person of Jesus Christ. He who sees in the Son the Fatherhood of God, and trusts in him, is changed into the sphere of holy adoption. The striking knowledge in Christ’s saying is not mere science, but spiritual being and becoming. God restores His image in every believer. What is this significance of this divine image? It is love, truth and integrity, which the Holy Spirit brings about in God’s children. It is also the glorifying of the Father, whereby His virtues are manifested.
Christ was sent by God into the world, so that men might realize by his walk that apart from him, who was born of the Spirit, crucified and risen, they could not know God. The Son is the divine Apostle who gathered all authority in his person with love and holiness. If you wish to know the true God, study the life of Jesus who is the image of Deity anointed by the Spirit. As Messiah he is also King of Kings, and the High Priest, the perfect Prophet and God’s word incarnate.
