My first Bible teacher taught me the most important lesson I've ever learned.

It is this:"God created men to know him. God created men to enjoy him."

Adam and Eve knew god and enjoyed him in the Garden until sin and death entered the picture and that relationship with God was lost.

But that's what Jesus came to restore. His death, burial and resurrection was for this single purpose: for you to have and experience eternal life.

But what is eternal life?

Jesus defined it this way "now this is eternal life: That they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."

God saved you to know and enjoy him.

This is ultimate freedom. This is eternal life that you can enjoy here and now.
