On this episode, Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley discuss the last line of the Apostles’ Creed, “Life everlasting.” They talk about the difference between “eternal” and “forever,” and what we are promised in Scripture.
Questions Covered in This Episode:
- Are we promised eternal life in scripture?
- Why is this in the creed?
- What different modes of living forever exist? Are there different states of everlasting life?
- What do we mean when we say separation from God?
The Apostles’ Creed:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth,
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
