Why God Allows for Eternal Life and Immortality

Often, people misconstrue religious teachings, leading to a misunderstanding of why God or a higher power might not explicitly prohibit immortality. In fact, many religious texts emphasize the pursuit of immortality and eternal life as a reward for living a life that aligns with divine will. This article aims to clarify these misconceptions and offer a deeper understanding of why eternal life is a possibility in many religious beliefs.

God's Message on Eternal Life

Contrary to the popular belief that God forbids immortality, religious scriptures often advocate for everlasting life and entrance into a paradise earth under Jesus Christ's rule. When many religious texts speak of the end of life, it is often in the context of leading a life that aligns with the divine will. Achieving eternal life is seen as a reward for living a life of faith, love, and obedience. This concept is rooted in the belief that a life lived in accordance with God’s purpose can lead to everlasting life on a paradise earth.

The Misunderstanding of Divine Messages

There is a common misconception that God explicitly forbids immortality, but this is not the case. Many religious texts instead focus on guiding humans towards a life that will result in eternal life. The idea that God says nothing is a misinterpretation. Mythological characters, often portrayed in religious texts, are designed to teach spiritual lessons rather than to convey literal statements. Just as in literature, misunderstandings arise when readers take characters or their words too literally.

The True Nature of Immortality

Imortality, in the context of a created being, is inherently impossible. According to religious texts, no created being can truly achieve immortality because every created thing has a beginning and an end. Thus, the pursuit of immortality for created beings is a reflection of pride and a desire to control what God alone can control. True immortality, or eternal life, is reserved for the divine being, God, who has no beginning and will have no end. This is a fundamental aspect of many theistic beliefs.

Therefore, the pursuit of eternal life should not be seen as a selfish desire, but as a divine promise for those who follow His will. Living each day in accordance with God’s plans and purposes can lead to a life that will be eternally meaningful and fulfilling. This journey is not about extending one's physical life for eternity, but about aligning one’s life with the divine plan and achieving eternal significance.

Conclusion

It is important to understand the true nature of divine teachings regarding immortality. Instead of fear or misunderstanding, should be a receptive and open attitude towards the possibility of eternal life. By embracing the divine will and living a life that reflects it, one can truly achieve a state of eternal significance and purpose.

In summary, God does not forbid immortality; in fact, He offers it as a reward for living a life that aligns with His will. This journey is a path of faith, obedience, and love, leading to an eternal existence in a paradise under Jesus Christ’s rule.
