Vida eterna
A vida eterna é a promessa central do evangelho. Não se trata apenas de duração infinita, mas de qualidade de vida em comunhão com Deus, começando aqui e se estendendo pela eternidade.
O dom gratuito da vida eterna
A vida eterna é um presente de Deus, não resultado de obras humanas. É dada gratuitamente a quem crê em Jesus Cristo.

A certeza para quem crê
Quem está em Cristo tem a certeza de que passou da morte para a vida. Nada pode arrebatar o crente da mão de Deus.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, that he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life.

11 And this is the testimony, that God gave eternal life to us, and this life is in his Son.12 He who has the Son has the life.

Perseverança e glória futura
A vida eterna exige perseverança. Os sofrimentos presentes não se comparam com a glória que será revelada. Deus nos guardará até o fim.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not comparable to the glory that is going to be revealed for us.

20 But ye beloved, building up yourselves in your most holy faith, praying in Holy Spirit,21 keep yourselves in the love of God, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life.
A eternidade com Deus
A Bíblia descreve a plenitude da vida eterna: sem dor, sem lágrimas, em perfeita comunhão com Deus para sempre.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.4 And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And there will not be any more death, nor grief, nor crying, nor will there be any more anguish, because the former things are gone.
8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, says Lord, the God who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.

28 For LORD loves justice, and forsakes not his sanctified. They are preserved forever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts,24 and see if there is any wicked way in me. And lead me in the way everlasting.
35 For he who finds me finds life, and shall obtain favor of LORD.
17 And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but he who does the will of God abides into the age.
