1 John 5:20 Jesus Christ is the True God and Eternal Life

1 John 5:20 (KJV)  And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 

The confession of the Apostle John is that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the true God and in Him is eternal life. He acknowledges this truth and bears witness to this truth.

There is a contrast that the people of God understand and are thankful for being shown the truth and having understood and embraced it – 1 John 5:19 (KJV)  And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Let us go forth to declare that we know that the Son of God has come and that we know Him personally and that He is truly God and the Giver of eternal life. All praise and glory to Him. Amen.
