Elder Robert D. Hales: Eteral Life - to Know Our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ

I'm still feeling a little under the weather, so I will keep this short. Please read Elder Hales' words. They are beautiful.

Elder Robert D. Hales: Eteral Life - to Know Our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ

Read or watch the full talk here

For me, the main message behind this talk is a true understanding of the godhead. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are two seperate beings. They are united, not in physical form, but in purpose. And their purpose is "to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of mankind."

The introductory text says it all: "God and Christ are literally a Father and a Son- separate, distinct, individual beings who are wholly unifed in Their purpose."

I feel blessed to understand this truth because it helps me to better understand God. Not only is He Christ's father, but He is my Heavenly Father. He loves me as He loves all of His children. 

Brothers and sisters, family is the most important thing in this life. As we live, as we move forward in our earthly existence, we must do all that we can to honor our families.
