A short Discourse on Eternal Life: Part II of II
Hence, when the question of salvation (of the soul) is at issue, the outcomes called "eternal life", "Life in Heaven" and "immortality" are often jargons to describe the condition of blessedness. This condition is present already in the physical life of the person who realizes Truth and lives in God's grace and mercy, and it will continue, with the same or clearer and greater intensity, in the hereafter. The person who gains "eternal life" is now called a "regenerated soul" and has accomplished the goal of life, and hence death is not to be feared as a limitation, as it is for a worldly person (unregenerate soul) who has tied all hopes to his possessions and pleasures in the world or live in total ignorance or disregard for the laws of God.
So, the most critical question seems to be: What will my eternal state be: regenerated or unregenerate? Where will I spend Eternity: In the heavenly bliss or a hellish confinement? And Why?
My dear friend, this short discourse is the reason why I started this web log titled: "The Last Seven Days of Jesus Christ". About a decade ago, I was confronted with several facts pertaining to various events that occurred during the last days of Jesus Christ. Before then, I was usually afraid of death and dying, not because of death itself, but mostly because of the uncertainty of its aftermath. I had several unanswered questions about life and living; After I received "eternal life", I now know exactly why I was born, I know exactly why I am alive today, and I know for sure that if I was to die today, I will gracefully continue into the presence of God for the fullest state of blessedness.
I invite you to follow as we explore the path Jesus Christ walks during his last days on earth. Why the last days? Read on...!
