Answ. Yes; for Jesus Christ himself in his Prayer to the Father, said; This is Life Eternal, [that is, This is that which the Doctrine, that hath the promise of Eternal Life, does teach and require for the obtaining of Eternal Life, to wit] that they may know thee the only truly God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent, Joh. 17.3.
Quest. Well: But what does Jesus Christ here intend by Mens knowing him who is the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent?
Answ. To know him who is the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent, is (according to Christ's intendment here) not only to understand or apprehend, that which must be known concerning him, who is the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent; but also, to love them as such, or according to such a knowledge of them to acknowledge them.
