Do you know Him?

Do you know Him?

One thing I'd like to continue on from my last blog "God is....God" - and well that is with the simple question, do you know Him?

Many people say they know God.  They furthermore confess being a Christian.  Yet they believe Eternal life starts when we die and go to Heaven.

Ok - so Christians confess they know God, and they believe Jesus is the Word and we know that the Word is God(John 1:1).  So the question would now become - do you know Jesus?

Jesus is found saying:
John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

So, what is Eternal life?  Eternal life is:  that we may know the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom the one true God has sent.

Jesus said this.  God said this.  Now - where does the thought that eternal life starts when we die and go to Heaven?

So the question again is:  do you know God?
