John 17:1-3
1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
The Son of God glorified His Father through obedience to the cross so He could give unending life with God to all His Father gives to Him through the grace of faith. So we have eternal life in knowing (not facts alone, but intimate knowledge) Jesus Christ sent and so God in and through Him. There is no other God who is truth and life and so the only way - only knowing Jesus is knowing God.
