How do you think your life would be different if you knew that you had eternal life?
That is, if eternal life were suddenly regarded as fact (in the same way gravity is fact), how do you think your life would be transformed as a result?
And by "eternal life" I mean eternal life in the most positive sense, i.e., everlasting, full, overflowing, infinite, replete with joy, wonder, awe; perpetually revelatory, absolutely numinous, mysterium tremendum type stuff; an inconceivable level of self-fulfillment, continuing throughout eternity, realized in the perfect love of the One Who created you to be, above all other things, a receptacle for His love, etc.
I'm curious, if you knew this life awaited you upon death, what would you do? How might you feel? How would your life be transformed, if at all?
