“父啊 … 荣耀你的儿子，使儿子也荣耀你 …；认识你独一的真神，并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督，这就是永生。” – 约 17:1-3
在耶稣降临之前很多年，全能的神呼召亚伯拉罕和向他作出应许，而亚伯拉罕亦相信祂和跟从祂（创世记 12:1-8）。那时大多数人都是相信很多神的，所有的国家都有他们自己的神。
但神教导亚伯拉罕和他的后裔，祂是独一的真神，而祂也常用打倒其他国家的假神来证明这点。就如在拯救祂的子民以色列脱离埃及为奴之地时，祂降下十灾，来证明祂的能力大过埃及的诸神：尼罗河的神、丰收的神、太阳神等等（出埃及记 7-12章）。
神显明祂是整个世界的创造者和维系者。以色列的神不是单单负责世界某一方面的事情的，祂乃是运行于整个世界和掌控历史事件的神。
耶稣到来向我们启示独一真神和祂拯救整个世界（约翰福音 3:16）。耶稣呼召所有人相信祂为救主。耶稣与神同为一体，祂也与圣灵同为一体（参看约翰福音 14:8-21；16:7-15）。
就是在今天，人们还在敬拜其他的神 – 财富、团队运动、湿婆神和毗湿奴（印度教的神），还有很多其他的神。但这些假神都会消逝，没有一个能指挥历史或提供拯救。惟有耶稣所启示的神才可以做得到，所以我们要单一敬拜祂。
祷告
亲爱的耶稣，感谢你向我们启示独一的真神和做我们的救主。阿们。
约翰福音 17:1-7, 20-23
1耶稣说了这话，就举目望天说：“父啊，时候到了，愿你荣耀你的儿子，使儿子也荣耀你！
2正如你曾赐给他权柄管理凡有血气的，叫他将永生赐给你所赐给他的人。
3认识你独一的真神，并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督，这就是永生。
4我在地上已经荣耀你，你所托付我的事，我已成全了。
5父啊，现在求你使我同你享荣耀，就是未有世界以先我同你所有的荣耀。
6你从世上赐给我的人，我已将你的名显明于他们。他们本是你的，你将他们赐给我，他们也遵守了你的道。
7如今他们知道，凡你所赐给我的，都是从你那里来的。
Jesus Reveals The One True God
“Father . . . glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. . . . Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” – John 17:1-3
Many years before Jesus came, the Lord God Almighty called Abraham and made promises to him—and Abraham trusted and followed (Genesis 12:1-8). At that time most people believed in many different gods, and all the nations claimed they had gods of their own.
The Lord, however, taught Abraham and his descendants that he is the only true God. And he often demonstrated that by overthrowing the false gods of other nations. For example, when God delivered his people Israel from slavery in Egypt, he sent ten plagues that showed his power over Egypt’s gods: the Nile god, the harvest god, the sun god, and so on (Exodus 7-12).
God showed that he is the creator and sustainer of the whole world. The God of Israel was not attached to one aspect of the world, but moved throughout the whole world and controlled the events of history.
Jesus came to reveal the one true God and his salvation for the whole world (John 3:16). And he calls everyone to believe in him as Savior. Jesus is also one with God and with the Holy Spirit (see John 14:8-21; 16:7-15).
Even today people worship other gods—wealth, sports teams, Shiva and Vishnu, and more. They will all pass away. None of them could ever direct history or provide salvation. Only the God revealed in Jesus can do that. Worship only him.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, thank you for revealing the true God to us and for being our Savior. Amen.
