JOHN 17 : 3
“Now this is eternal life; that they know You, the only True God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.”
Since death is separation from God, life is a close relationship with Him. Eternal life, thus, is knowledge and closeness to Him and being with Him.
The Son of God revealed God the Father in Him and His Word and helped us to draw close to Him. God’s Spirit in us helps us as a Teacher and a guide to walk in His ways.
Our good works do not build a relationship with God, and this happens only through and in the knowledge of His Son!
“A close relationship can only be with the One we know, and the Lord Jesus helps fulfill it completely.”
