Knowledge of Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the supreme revelation of God

John 14:6–10 ESV

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.

1 John 2:3–6 ESV

And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.

By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
