John 17:3

Mar 3, 2015 • Don Willeman • Kingdom Perspective, Thinking Christian Series, 2015

“It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” There is a mountain of spiritual truth in this pebble of worldly wisdom. Nothing is more important in life than knowing the One who made you. Of all the relationships in your life, your relationship with your Creator is most critical.

Jesus at the end of his life had this to say, “And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” (John 17:3) The implication is clear. If you want to have eternal life then you must KNOW God and therefore KNOW Jesus. Indeed “eternal life” is made synonymous with knowing God. KNOWING GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE.

Have you ever thought much about the state of your relationship with God? Do you know whether or not you know God at all? Nothing could be more critical if you desire the reality of eternal life.

Something to think about from the “Kingdom Perspective”.

“And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.”

~John 17:3-5
