When Does Eternal Life Begin?

The question of eternal life is at the root of mankind’s eternal questions. Who am I? Why am I here? Is there anything more? What happens after I die? Because God has made us intelligent, we are naturally curious, and it seems we are most curious about things we cannot prove. One thing is quite certain; we do not want to die. Even when we grow old and fragile, clinging to life is more than instinctive and it is more than fear of the death of the body. It is a sincere desire to live on after the body has withered and died.
