When I think about "eternal life," I can't get that Queen song out of my head ("Princes of the Universe," theme to Highlander)
Of course, Eternal Life isn't like the movie...or is it?
1st Corinthians 2:9 says,
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."
Do Not Be Deceived:
No one knows what happens to the righteous after judgement.
Preachers love to say that "believers" are going to have a new life, just like the old life (only better)...in a mansion on streets of gold. Hummmm, I wonder if there will be golf courses?
Some say we will kneel before God and praise him for eternity.
Certainly God is worthy of our praise and worship, but for eternity? Kneeling for eternity doesn't sound like much of a reward to me. How 'bout you?
Still others preach the never-ending party with friends and loved ones...and pets.
What if Uncle Joe, or God forbid, Mom, didn't make it to the party? Thinking about a loved one rotting in Hell doesn't sound like "heaven" to me.
None of these are supported by scripture; and Jesus said,
"This is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent"
(John 17:3)
To "inherit" eternal life you must be a Spirit-filled child of God; as Jesus said, "Ye must be born again."
God is Spirit; until you're reborn Spiritually...nothing else matters.
