"You search the scriptures, 
because you think that in them 
you have eternal life; 
and it is they that 
bear witness to me."

If I said, I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; 
but I do know him and I keep his word" 
(John 8:55)

He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth belongs to the earth, and of the earth he speaks; he who comes from heaven is above all. He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony; he who receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true. For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for it is not by measure that he gives the Spirit; the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. -- John 3:31-35

if any one keeps my word, 

he will never see death."

How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to thy word. With my whole heart I seek thee; let me not wander from thy commandments I have laid up thy word in my heart, that I might not sin against thee. -- Psalm 119:9-11

The Word of God, incorporeal, incorruptible and immaterial, came down to our world. Not that He had been far off before, since no part of creation was ever without him. Together with His Father He filled all things. [On The Incarnation of The Word, St. Athanasius, Section 8-9]

God the Word of the all-good Father did not abandon the human race when it was falling to its ruin. By the offering of His own body He destroyed death which had attached itself to man, by His own teaching He corrected man's negligence, by His own power He restored all that belonged to man's condition. [On The Incarnation of the Word, St. Athanasius, N 10]

For it was not the Word Himself Who needed an opening of the gates, He being Lord of all, nor was any of His works closed to their Maker. No, it was we who needed it, we whom He Himself upbore in His own body—that body which He first offered to death on behalf of all, and then made through it a path to heaven... [On The Incarnation of The Word, St. Athanasius, Chapter 4]
