We Can Live Forever - "Forever" in the Bible - Continue

 Jehovah has created within us a strong desire to keep living.  The Bible says regarding humans that GOd has "put eternity in their heart." (Ecclesiastes 3:11) That is one reason why we view death as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) If we become seriously ill, do we just accept the condition and give up? No.  Usually, we visit a physician and perhaps take medicine to combat the disease.  In fact, we do all we reasonably can to avoid dying.  And when someone we love dies, whether that person is young or old, do we feel deep and lasting emotional pain?  (John 11:32, 33)  Certainly, our loving Creator would not give us  the desire and the capacity to keep living unless his purpose was for humans to keep living.  But we have further compelling reasons to believe that we can have an unending life. Let us consider some of Jehovah's past and presesnt actions that prove he has not changed his original purpose.

Jehovah's Purpose Has Not Changed

Even though Adam and Eve sinned and brought death to their children, jehovah did not change his mind regarding his purpose.  (Read Isaiah 55:11) His purpose is still that faithful humans live forever.  Such a conclusion is evident when we consider the things Jehovah has said and done in order to fulfill his purpose.
