Made Him Known - John 1:16-18

John 1:16-18 ESV 

For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.

The fullness of God was pleased to dwell in Jesus. Another testimony of the one triune God lies before us in these verses. "the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known." Jesus is described here as "the only God." 

God gave the law through Moses. He came Himself to bring grace and truth. The grace of the law lies in the fact it leads to grace and truth. 

The fullness of God is pleased to dwell in you and me. God has made Himself known.
