Eternal
life is not an unending continuance of this life -- that would, perhaps, be
Hell -- but eternal life is quite a different life, divine, not mundane;
perfect, not earthly; true life, not corrupt half-life. We cannot form a conception of eternal
life. What we imagine is ever simply of
the earth, temporal, worldly. Nor could
we know anything about our eternal life if it had not appeared in Jesus
Christ. In Him we realize that we were
created for the eternal life… "It is life with God, in God, from God; life
in perfect fellowship."
