The Eternal Son Of God

 The Spirit of truth is witness to the Word of truth and so John can proclaim that we know that The Eternal Son Of God has come to earth to live and to die as the perfect, sinless Son of Man. John explains that the Spirit of truth has given us understanding in Him: "He is the visible image of the invisible God, full of grace and truth." He alone has made the Father known to all who will trust in His name.
 Love of the Lord Jesus and obedience to His commands are the focal points of John's writing so that all who believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God would know, without question, that they have eternal life in Him.
 It is this confidence in Christ that enables John to write that we know that the Son of God has come. We know that Christ has made the Father known to us, and we know that in Him we have been given spiritual understanding and godly wisdom.
 God, in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, came to earth to reconcile mankind to the Father through the Son and to give spiritual understanding and godly wisdom to all who would trust in His name. He is the only way to God, the only truth from God, and the only life of God.
1 John 5:20 We know also 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 by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that You sent Your only begotten Son to become our Savior. Thank You that in Your goodness and grace, we have been given understanding by the Holy Spirit so that we can know Him more fully. He is the only way to God, the only truth from God, and the only life of God. We pray that we would spend the rest of our lives walking in the truth, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
