ACC ~ 1 John 5 v20

TO KNOW HIM WHO IS TRUE. DIDYMUS THE BLIND: The understanding which God gave, by which it is known that the true Son of God is coming, is the same as the mind of Christ. COMMENTARY ON 1 JOHN.

THE SON HAS GIVEN US UNDERSTANDING. ANDREAS: Even at the end of his letter, John never stops insisting on the need for right doctrine. We have been given understanding to the extent that we have known the Son of God, who really has come into the world. This is what it means to say that “we have the mind of Christ.”The person who has this mind and understanding knows what is really true and is united with him because he shares the same mind. CATENA.

THE TRUE GOD AND ETERNAL LIFE. BEDE: What could be clearer than these words? What could be sweeter to the ear? What could be a more powerful weapon to use against the heretics? Christ is the true Son of God. The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is the true God. The eternal Son of God has come into the world of time, and he came only in order to save us, so that we might come to know the true God. For no one can come to eternal life without a knowledge of the true God. All these things John just keeps repeating over and over again. ON 1 JOHN.
