II. “I Know Whom I Have Believed”
151
For a Christian, believing in God cannot be separated from believing in the One
he sent, his “beloved Son”, in whom the Father is “well
pleased”; God tells us to listen to him.18 The Lord himself said
to his disciples: “Believe in God, believe also in me.”19 We can
believe in Jesus Christ because he is himself God, the Word made flesh:
“No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the
Father, he has made him known.”20 Because he “has seen the
Father”, Jesus Christ is the only one who knows him and can reveal
him.21
