You Will
Live Forever

“The (unrighteous) go into eternal punishment but
The righteous into eternal life.”

Matthew 25:46

LiveForever British writer, literary scholar, and theologian C.S. Lewis was a prolific defender of the Christian faith and author of many famous books. In his short article You Shall Last Forever he explains two evident truths not understood from most. First, that the church will last forever and second, everyone will also last forever. That is quite simply, immortality is our eternal state – but what will that eternal state be?

Today’s scripture quote gives the answer.

Because of Christ’s victory over death by rising from the dead and leading the way for the world from death, we can also be joint heirs over death and share in His victory. Like Christ, we must also die – not simply a natural death – but die to our old sin nature. As the Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:31 it is our crucifixion of the natural self which gives us the passport to everlasting life, because nothing that has not died can be resurrected, and that happens by taking upon yourself the righteousness of Christ by asking Him for forgiveness of all of your sins and placing His will as #1 as the Lord and Savior of your life.

Lewis closes his article saying, “We are marble waiting to be shaped, metal waiting to be run into a mold” and this will be those in a heavenly eternity of perfection that is beyond our wildest dreams or imaginations, just as the Bible promises:

“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, either have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9

There are one of two eternities we will all go.

Which eternity will you step into?
