There is a certain context to knowing the Father, the Son, and the relationship between the Father and the Son. This context is one of discipleship. Jesus Christ died for you and the Father raised him from the dead. Discipleship of Jesus is simply this: to hear his word and believe that he is the light of the world, sent by the Father. It involves being baptized to follow him, keeping his teachings, and being led into all truth by the Holy Spirit. Disciples are to obey within the context of his body of believers, loving one another and following his commands. Through this, they are freed from sin, awaiting his return while building the Temple, which is his body of believers. Upon his coming, they will experience resurrection to eternal life and enjoy fellowship with the Father and the Son forever. Much must be endured but there is this joyful hope which sustains the true disciple. Hope of true knowledge of the Father and the Son, which is what eternal life is all about.
