Everyone’s soul lives forever. Whether we spend eternity with God (heaven) or away from God (hell) depends on a key decision we make while we are on this earth: Is Jesus Christ who He says He is? Is He the sinless Lamb, whose death on the cross and resurrection from the dead mean forgiveness of sin for those who believe He is God’s Son? If you answer yes to those questions, you will be blessed by God’s free gift of eternal life with Him.
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.”
JOHN 10:27–28
“Most assuredly, I say to you, 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. Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.”
JOHN 5:24–26
“No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. . . . Whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
JOHN 3:13, 15–16
Having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
ROMANS 6:22–23
