Eternal life (Christianity)
In
Christianity
,
eternal life
traditionally refers to continued
life after death
, as outlined in
Christian eschatology
. The
Apostles' Creed
testifies: "I believe... the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting." In this view, eternal life commences after the
second coming of Jesus
and the resurrection of the dead, although in the
New Testament
's
Johannine literature
there are references to eternal life commencing in the earthly life of the believer, possibly indicating an
inaugurated eschatology
.
