Jesus died on the cross as the perfect, sinless sacrifice for our sin, and that’s why we can know God’s forgiveness and experience fellowship with Him, the Holy One. That fellowship will continue in heaven for eternity. The spirit of every human being will live forever, but only believers will have everlasting life with Jesus. You can look forward to spending eternity with Him. Nothing can change that outcome for you. You can be absolutely sure that you will live forever with Christ, free of death, sorrow, and pain and knowing the love, joy, and peace that only He can give.
This is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
1 JOHN 5:11
“He who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.”
JOHN 5:24
We know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
1 JOHN 5:20
“I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
JOHN 6:51
“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
JOHN 11:25–26
