Question 6: What then is true and correct knowledge of God?

Answer: We know God for the purpose of glorifying Him.

Believing in the God Jesus calls "Father" is truly and correctly knowing God. The idea of ​​the Trinity prevents a correct belief in God. True belief in God means the Father, Jesus Christ, and the saints become one in the Holy Spirit. When a saint becomes one with God in Christ, he or she comes to know God.

To know (Hebrew yada) means to know each other, like a married couple. Therefore, heaven is likened to a marriage. The sacrament symbolizes the belief in Jesus' death and resurrection. The breaking of bread and the pouring of the cup during the Eucharist symbolize this relationship. The breaking of the bread signifies death on the cross, eating the bread signifies receiving resurrection life, the pouring of the cup symbolizes the blood shed on the cross, and drinking the cup is partaking of the water of life from heaven.

Luke 22:16-20 “For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves; for I tell you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” Then he took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.” The Passover ceremony in the kingdom of God symbolizes the heavenly wedding banquet.
