J.C. Ryle on John 17:3

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

"The mere knowledge of God is not sufficient, and saves none. We must know the Son as well as the Father. God known without Christ, is a Being whom we can only fear, and dare not approach. It is "God in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself," who alone can give to the soul life and peace."
(J.C. Ryle)
