The Essence of Eternal Life

"Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." (John 17:3)

You don't have to understand the intricacies of the Trinity to have eternal life. You do, however, have to have a personal relationship with God - to really know Him.

When you

become a Christ-follower, you accept the Bible's teaching that God saves, loves, and makes Himself known to humanity. Learning about the Trinity…

Behind the Scenes

“The spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor 'knows

him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you." (John 14:7)

We know God the Father created the world. We know His Son, Jesus Christ, died as a

sacrifice for our sins. But what about the Holy Spirit?

The Holy Spirit is often the least discussed member of the Trinity, yet He is the divine person

who interacts most closely with us. lf…

He's From Where?

"But we know where this man is from; when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from." (John 7:27)

To a lot of people;" Christianity doesn't make much sense. They wonder how Christians can base their faith on some special man who can supposedly take away sins. "How," they ask, "can a man take away sins?"

What's My Motivation?

"The Priests did not ask, 'Where is the Lord?' Those who deal with the law did not know me." (Jeremiah 2:8)

Religious activity is not evidence of genuine spirituality. And God does not consider service or worship…

"Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who Seek you." (Psalm 9:10)

With some people, the more you know them, the more you distrust them. Many are

minefields of character flaws, hidden agendas, and selfish motivations. God alone is

completely trustworthy. He will never let us down.

In fact, the more we know about God who is a Trinity, the more we realize we can depend on Him. God's motivation is purely love. No strings…

“you were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him

there is no other.” (Deuteronomy 4:35)

For some it might come through a painful experience that puts life in perspective. For others

it might arrive through deep study or a spiritual growth experience. Still others might

discover it in an inspiring nature-scape or through the words of a trusted friend. God is

absolutely incredible. No one can compare to Him.
