President Ezra Taft Benson with prophetic insight said, “Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father [in Heaven] and how familiar his face is to us.” (The Father and the Son, April general conference, Elder Christoffel Golden Jr.)
Life eternal is to know God, and His Son, Jesus Christ. Christ is the perfect example of what God would do in any situation, if understood by the power of the Holy Ghost. This we come to understand and know God, living as he lives and doing what He does.
