For debate: Is Jesus good?The Rich and the Kingdom of God
17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’[d]”
20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”
21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is[e] to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”

Post #42Yes, the Father is higher in rank, role and position but they are the same in the state of being God. (John 1:1)
I've asked this question to I believe JW, in John 17:3, how a Christian experience eternal life?
I hope I'll receive an answer.

Post #43In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:1
I don't think that means Jesus is the one and only true God.
Maybe they experience it by being with the one and only true God, by knowing Him?
This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
John 17:3
