... Eternal life is the most important thing in all the world for which you and I should work and hope someday to attain. ... the person who attains eternal life is exceedingly rich. Seek not for riches but for wisdom.... ... he that hath eternal life is rich. Eternal life is the greatest of all of the gifts of God.
