Relationship

• nowing God (relationship): not dispassionate knowledge of God, but personal, genuine, intimate relationship with Him.
  
  How important is that? The most important thing there is, according to Jesus. He said it IS eternal life. He did not say, "...eternal life is like...". No. He said, "...this is eternal life..."

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (John 17:1-3 NIV)
