The Importance of Knowing God

The only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent, the true life, real life, final life, divine life is to know God and his son. Why would you call that life? I wouldn't have thought of that. Here's my attempt at an answer. To be God forever was to know, to know perfectly and infinitely because he was perfect and infinite as the object of his knowledge. He not only knew, but he loved. Whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. And Paul says, if anyone loves God, he's known by God. So God knows and God loves. That's why I'm doing it right now.
