Assurance of Salvation Jesus' words provide assurance that through Him, believers have access to the Father, reinforcing the security of salvation in Christ. Living in the Light of Revelation As believers understand that Jesus reveals the Father, they are called to live in a way that reflects this truth, embodying Christ's teachings in their daily lives.(7) If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.--The thought here is made quite plain by what has preceded; but the form in which it is expressed demands attention. The emphasis of the first part of the sentence is not upon "Me" as is generally supposed, but upon "known." In the second part the emphatic words are "My Father." The English word "known" represents two Greek words in the better text which are not identical in meaning. The former means, to know by observation, the latter to know by reflection. It is the difference between connaitre and savoir; between kennen (ken, k(e)now), and wissen (wit, wisdom). We may express the meaning more exactly thus, "If ye had recognised Me, ye would have known My Father also." If ye had recognised who I really am; ye would have known that I and My Father are one. And from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.--Comp. John 13:31, where the glorifying of the Son of Man is regarded as in the future which is immediately present. He can, therefore, say that from this time onwards, after the full declaration of Himself in John 14:6; John 14:9 et seq., they know and have seen the Father.
