At the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ and its power to save is a correct understanding of the Father and the Son.
As Latter-day Saints and as Christians, we likewise have a strong and deep faith in God the Eternal Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. Devotion to God ever remains a sacred and personal matter between each of us and our Maker.
Our quest for eternal life is nothing other than a quest to understand who God is and for us to return to live with Him. The Savior prayed to His Father, "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
The Father and the Son are distinctly separate beings, but They are perfectly united and one in power and purpose.
Their oneness is not reserved for Them alone; rather, They desire this same oneness for everyone who will, with devotion, follow and obey Their commandments.
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."
