Bible Verse
“And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” – John 17:3
Meaning
The words of Jesus in John 17:3 encapsulate the essence of God’s nature. He speaks of God as the “only true God” and clarifies the pathway to eternal life—knowing God and Jesus, His sent one. This ‘knowing’ goes beyond intellectual knowledge; instead, it speaks of personal, intimate, and relational knowledge.
God is not a distant entity, an impersonal force. He is a loving Father who relentlessly pursues a relationship with us. Jesus, being one with God, exemplifies this attribute perfectly. He came not to condemn the world but to save it, thereby showing us the true character of God.
