“‘This is life eternal,’” says Jesus, — is, not shall be; and then he defines everlasting life as a present knowledge of his Father and of himself, — the knowledge of Love, Truth, and Life.” (Science and Health, p. 410)

Everlasting life is not the afterlife. An eternal existence doesn’t begin when we pass the threshold out of this human experience through death. Jesus cleared this up definitively with his words and works.

Right here, right now, eternal life is ours. This true sense of immortality—a life that is endless and timeless and fearless—is to be realized, felt, lived right here and now. Jesus told us that life is eternal. This wasn’t a promise for a later time, but a declaration of Truth, a fact of this life.

Jesus was able to realize this eternal life, to transcend the death process, by his daily and focused recognition of his Father, God, and of himself as forever at one with this Father. Jesus brought to us this Christ-message. We were being told to do as he did—to come to know God better, to come to understand that God is ever-present, that He is Life, Truth, and Love.

To claim and acknowledge this Truth is to live our eternal, full, joyful, free, loving life right here and now and ever.
