“3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. -JOHN 17:3 (Emphasis mine) Notice that Jesus does not say “eternal life” is an endless existence that we step into after death. No, He speaks of “eternal life” as though it were a certain quality of life that hinges upon our understanding of God’s nature. This life, however, can be experienced only through a knowledge of Jesus Christ, since He is the Father’s exact representation.”
