Every human being will live forever — not in the body, but in the soul. The Bible is clear: Eternity is not optional. It is not symbolic, poetic, or philosophical. Eternity is real, and every soul is heading toward one of two destinations:

Eternal punishment for those who reject the gospel.
Eternal glory for those who believe the finished work of Christ.

In this dispensation of grace, God offers salvation freely (Ephesians 2:8–9), immediately (Romans 5:1), and universally (1 Timothy 2:4). But that choice is made now, not after death.

Let us examine seven truths about eternity — and why we must choose wisely.

𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍

Eternity is not imaginary.
Eternity is not symbolic.
Eternity is not optional.

Every soul will live forever —
in eternal punishment
or
in eternal glory

The difference is a decision, not a denomination…
A belief, not a behavior…
A Savior, not a system…

And the only saving message today is Paul’s gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1–4).

𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐎 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍

Believe the true gospel — Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection
Rightly divide the Scriptures to avoid deception
Warn those who are lost — eternity is real
Share the message of grace while there is still time
Pray for open doors to preach the gospel of Christ

𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒

Eternity is certain.
Destiny is chosen, not forced.
Salvation is by believing, not behaving.
Christ’s finished work is the only saving message.
Works cannot earn what Christ already paid.
Eternal security is God’s guarantee, not man’s grip.
Today is the day. Choose wisely — because eternity is real.
