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.

"Right!" Jesus told him. "Do this and you will live!"

A eternidade com Deus
A Bíblia descreve a plenitude da vida eterna: sem dor, sem lágrimas, em perfeita comunhão com Deus para sempre.
I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever."
"I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end," says the Lord God. "I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One."
Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting disgrace. Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever.
For the Lord loves justice,
and he will never abandon the godly.
He will keep them safe forever,
but the children of the wicked will die.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
For whoever finds me finds life
and receives favor from the Lord.
And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
