This question seems simple, but it can reveal a lot about what we really believe.
Speaking with his Father, Jesus said:
“This is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent.”
Eternal life, according to Jesus, does not begin after death.
It begins with knowing God.
Not just knowing things about God.
But knowing him.
Knowing him as Father.
Maybe that is why Jesus taught his disciples to pray saying:
“Our Father…”
Throughout life, we can accumulate a lot of information, doctrines and religious concepts.
But at some point, the question remains:
Who is God to you?
After a long silence, perhaps the simplest answer is also the most profound:
He is my Father.
And maybe this is our true after Christ:
To know God as Father and learn to live as his children.
Learn more: And after Christ?
