John 17:3
A great verse that I love is in the Bible, in John 17:3. It says, "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." We are supposed to come to know God and Jesus Christ. I believe that it is possible to come to know them. It doesn't make sense that we cannot get to know them and have a relationship with them. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we believe that God the Eternal Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are three distinct beings. We believe that God and Jesus both have separate, perfect immortal bodies. God, is our Father, and we have the wonderful blessing of communicating with Him through prayer. Prayer is a great way that people can express their feelings of gratitude and can also ask for things that they need in their lives. I believe that God always answers our prayers in the best way for us. As we see Him answering our prayers, we can come to understand His love and concern for us. We can also see His power as He answers our prayers. The scriptures are also a wonderful resource to see how God has been involved in the lives of other people throughout history. God is so willing to help us, but we have to have faith in Him. I know that God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and is a God of love. I know that God is our Eternal Father and we are His children.
