“IF YOU HAVE KNOWN ME, YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE FATHER ALSO; and from henceforth you know Him, and have seen Him.” (Jn.14:7)
(vs.9) Don’t you believe that I AM in the Father, and the Father is in me? The Words I speak to you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, He does the works. Believe me that I AM IN THE FATHER, AND YOU ARE IN ME, AND I IN YOU.
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didy-mus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples said to him. We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, ‘except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe’. And after eight days again His disciples were within, and Thomas with them:
THEN CAME JESUS, the door being shut, and shut, and stood in the midst, and said, ‘peace be unto you’. Then said He to Thomas, ‘reach here your finger, and behold my hands; and reach your hand, and thrust it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing’. And Thomas answered and said unto Him, ‘MY LORD AND MY GOD’. Jesus said to him, ‘Thomas, BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN ME, AND YOU BELIEVED: BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HAVE NOT SEEN, AND YET BELIEVED.’” (Context-Jn.29:24-29)
Read also Jesus’ prayer in Chapter 17; the book of John: “I pray for THEM THAT SHALL BELIEVE on me through their words.”
“No man has seen God at any time. IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD DWELLS IN US, and His love is perfected in us. HEREBY WE KNOW THAT WE DWELL IN HIM, AND HE DWELLS IN US, BECAUSE HE HAS GIVEN US OF HIS SPIRIT. And we have seen and do testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. WHOSOEVER SHALL CONFESS THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD, GOD DWELLS IN HIM, AND HE IN GOD. And we know and believed the love of god has to us. GOD IS LOVE; and He dwells in God and God in Him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear.” (I Jn.4:12-18)
“He said unto them, But whom do you say I AM? And Simon Peter (blurts out for them) answered and said; You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Mt.16:15,16)
“Happy is the people whose God is the Lord.” (Ps.144:15)
“That I may know Him” (Phil.3:10)
“Growing in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.” (II Pet.3:18)
“Till w all come unto the measure of the fullness of Christ.” (Eph.4:13)SO WHAT – WHAT NOW?
