Many Christians make the mistake of believing we get to heaven by worshipping Jesus. The NDE reveals we get to heaven, not by worshipping Jesus, but by emulating Jesus by living a life of unconditional love for everyone. The NDE also reveals the true relationship between Christ and God. Jesus often appears in NDEs shining a tremendous amount of light. The reason for this is that Jesus has a tremendous amount of love for others. The NDE and the Bible agree that light is God and those who love others the most will shine more of this light that is God. This is because the light of God is love. A love that is beyond any human comprehension according to NDErs.

The following poem I wrote as a way to show others this relationship between God and Jesus as I know it as revealed by the NDE and my own personal experience.

Love is God

"The Kingdom of heaven is near!" Jesus shouted.
"Where is this Kingdom of heaven?" they doubted.
"It is not of this world," He denied.
"It lies within you," He replied.
"If heaven is within us," they asked,
"Please show us the Father at last!"
"Your Father is love from heaven above.
Within you He lives in His Kingdom of love.
Your Father has already appeared, you see.
The one who speaks to you now is He.
He is the Spirit, the Spirit of love.
He is eternal life, light and love.
The Father, Son and Spirit above
Is the Mind, Body and Spirit of love.
He is the love who shines so bright.
The light of the world. He is the light.
I am your Shepherd. I'll show you the way.
The way is love. I am the way.
I am the truth. The truth is law.
The law is love. Love is God.
I am Jesus, the Son of Man.
I am the rock on which you stand.
I am your Savior, this love divine.
You are the branches. I am the Vine.
I am these words of love you heard.
The word is love. I am the word.
Everyone who loves is born of me.
No one enters except through me.
I am love. I set will you free
When my Kingdom of love rises in thee.
I am the Resurrection. You will see
When you open your heart and follow me."

(reference: 1 John 4)

The main emphasis of the poem is this: God is the love, life and light within us.
