Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Trust me when I say the Father and I are completely connected, we're one. But if that's hard to wrap your head around, just look at what I'm actually doing and let that convince you.
If the words don't convince you, let the actions speak for themselves.
