We are commanded to get to know God and Chist, (John 17: 3 http://scriptures.lds.org/john/17/3#3 ) John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Glad you quoted John 17:3. It shows eternal life is in a relationship, not just a time period (future tense).

Eternal life, therefore is present tense. Just look at all the passages which say eternal life is now: John 3:36, 5:24; 1 John 5:11-12...for starters.

Did you know eternal life is now because it's based on a faith relationship of who you know and not based upon performance?

So, you’re saying it truly is who you know /Humor

The only way to have a relationship with god is to be like him (I’m not going to bother quoting scriptures about tolerance for sin, you could quote them just as fast as I could).

Performance = sin or righteousness (It’s really that simple).
