Everyone is eternal.

Welcome to the GOSPEL Journey blog! This week, we will be taking a look at the statement, Life that is eternal means being with Jesus forever. These posts are to help you engage with the central message of the Bible. Comment. Question. Agree. Disagree. Either way, let us know what you think.

Everyone is eternal

Since a lot of people refer to life in heaven as eternal life, some may get confused and think only the believer is eternal. Consider what the author of Hebrews said in Hebrews 9:26-28 and then answer these questons:

1. Why wouldn't it be necessary for Christ to die more than once?
2. What fate awaits every man?
3. What will Christ do for those who have placed their trust in Him?

Some question, however, whether people are eternal after the judgment. Check out Jesus' words in Matthew 25:31-46 and answer these questions:

1. Who will be present at the judgment at the end?
2. What waits for those who God deems righteous?
3. What waits for those God deems cursed?

The same word, eternal, is used by Jesus to describe heaven and hell. We all have been created to live for eternity, it's just a question of how we spend that eternity.
