Hi Darrin (from Nancy),
Jesus is respected by almost all religions as a great prophet partly because He was the first to teach of God as a father image that we can relate to. He is no longer considered an impersonal God thing but a loving father that cares for us and knows us. We are His children through Jesus. The flip side to this IMO is that we are to be like children to enter the kingdom of heaven. That is a day full of meditation on what God means for us to be like children. Is it to trust our father without fear? Or to run to Him when we get hurt? Can we sit in His lap and listen carefully to His wisdom (the Bible) in our troubles? What a gift Jesus has given us and IMO it is much more than eternal life it is a personal relationship with a warm loving father God.
Some will say we are Gods also if we are sons of God but I say what are they saying by this. If they are a God does that mean they do not need to sit in His lap for council but rely on their own wisdom? Do they take their problems in their own strength without the comfort of running to him for comfort? I do not have any desire to be a God only to be a child that is humble and teachable by my father that I love.
I enjoy your post and see your a wise person that is seeking to know God more.
May the Lord bless you and keep you, may He make His face shine upon you and give you Peace. The peace that the world can not understand but comes from God alone,
Nancy
