The One True God: the Father

A very clear pronouncement made by Jesus Christ concerning the One True God.

The One True God according to our Lord Jesus Christ.

John 17:1-3 ""After Jesus finished saying this, he looked up to heaven and said, “FATHER, the hour has come. Give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you....And ETERNAL LIFE MEANS TO KNOW YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST, WHOM YOU SENT.""

The Lord Jesus Christ made these pronouncements as He prayed to the Father.

According to Him, Eternal life means:

• To know You (the Father), the Only True God

=======Jesus categorically pointed out that the Father in heaven is the "Only True God".

• To know Jesus Christ whom you (the Father) has sent.

=======By Jesus saying that He was sent by the Father, Jesus Himself made it clear that He is distinct or a separate being from God, the Father. Thus, Jesus' statement about the Father as the only true God, clearly imply that Jesus Himself is not the true God.

This single verse is indeed very clear in the teachings about God,  that there is only one true God---the Father.
