Lord Jesus, we believe that you and the Father are One
Jn 12: 44-50 Whoever believes in me believes not in me but in the one who sent me, and whoever sees me, sees the one who sent me. I have come into the world as light, to prevent anyone who believes in me from staying in the dark any more. If anyone hears my words and does not keep them faithfully, it is not I who shall judge such a person, since I have come not to judge the world, but to save the world: anyone who rejects me and refuses my words has his judge already: the word itself that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day. For I have not spoken of my own accord; but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and what to speak, and I know that his commands mean eternal life. And therefore what the Father has told me is what I speak. Jesus claims that anyone who believes in him will also believe in God the Father, who is in heaven. Because they are One God, anyone who sees Jesus will also see the Father. The most crucial factor in following Jesus' example is our faith. When Jesus entered the world, he brought light and taught us to live in it rather than in darkness. Therefore, we must pay attention to what Jesus teaches us, and if we do not put what he says into practice, then his own words will condemn us. Jesus declares that he came to redeem us and grant us eternal life, and not to judge. We are condemned by our own disobedience when we reject Jesus' teachings, and as a result, we will be judged on the last day. According to Jesus, the Father is speaking through him and he is speaking what the Father has instructed him to say, not his own words. Lord, Jesus we believe that you and the Father is One God.
