Eternity In Every Heart

God’s invisible qualities . . . have been clearly seen . . . so that people are without excuse. Romans 1:20 NIV

God has put within each of us an inner sense that life on Earth is not all there is. The Bible tells us that God has set eternity in the hearts of the people (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Many may suppress this truth or even deny it, but the human conscience still speaks. The still small voice of God tells us down deep what is true (1 Kings 19:12). We must never ignore that inner voice but rather check what we believe it is saying alongside Scripture, where God reveals these truths to mankind. The apostle Paul wrote about this danger of denying God’s truth: “What can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them” (Romans 1:19 ESV). We are not simply physical beings; we also have a soul (or spirit), and we bear within us the likeness of our Creator. That likeness has been marred and distorted by sin—but it is still there. And just as God is eternal, so we sense in our hearts that we, too, must be eternal. Death reduces all people to the same rank. Death knows no age limits and no partiality. But death is not without hope. For those who know Christ Jesus, death is the doorway into His presence, and death is more friend than foe, the beginning rather than the end.
