Knowing Jesus, the True God

"And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life." ~ 1 John 5:20

In a world of shifting truths, 1 John 5:20 offers a firm foundation: we can truly know Jesus, the Son of God. His coming granted us a profound spiritual understanding, enabling us to grasp the truth about God. This insight is not just intellectual but a divine illumination, opening our eyes to "know him who is true." The verse emphasizes our intimate union with Christ, declaring that "we are in him who is true." This means our lives are deeply connected to Him, the very source of truth and everlasting existence. Because Jesus is "the true God and eternal life," our connection to Him is a connection to eternal hope. To truly know Jesus and gain this divine understanding, we must actively and consistently seek Him through diligent study of His Word and prayer. As we draw near to Him, we receive divine wisdom, allowing us to live in the light of His eternal truth.
