Eternal life is the term frequently used by Jesus to describe the endless happiness enjoyed in heaven,[1] and to some extent the fullness of life in this lifetime to those that embraced his lessons on living a good life.
The concept of eternal life exists in the Old Testament also. In Proverbs 12:28 (ESV):
| “ | In the path of righteousness is life,
and in its pathway there is no death. |
” |
Eternal life is the same as infinite time, and the development of the concept of infinity was primarily Christian. Before Christianity, the Greeks mocked the idea of infinity.
