THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like:
"We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods."
The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in.
At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"

1 John 5:20
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
KJV

The Bible, sustained with archaeology, is evidentiary proof that Jesus Christ is "the Son of God," Who came in flesh. The Bible has NEVER been disproved, not even in one verse!
Because Jesus Christ came, we have UNDERSTANDING.
This is beyond mental comprehension. The Greek term (dianoia) implies more than a mere retaining of factual information. One knows electricity is by mere fact; but, one KNOWS electricity when he/she touches it!
Jesus Christ is TRUE. The truth of Him is shown by His life, atoning death, and sealing resurrection.
Jesus Christ is the SON OF GOD.
He is TRUE God.
IN Him is ETERNAL LIFE.
He GIVES eternal life to all who receive Him (John 1:4, 12).
All we, who come to Him in surrender, KNOW Him and are sustained IN Him.
JESUS! ALL of us, once we have come to KNOW Him, wish we'd known Him SOONER!
Love ya,
