Eternal Life
Matthew 25:46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.


I. Eternal life, what it is.

1. It is life in the most perfect existence.

2. It is life in its fullest enjoyment. The intellect in its highest flights, the will in its most entire subjugation, and the affections, shall be fully enjoyed there.

3. It is life in its eternal duration.

II. The persons who are to enjoy eternal life — "the righteous." They have been stripped of their own righteousness, and are clad in the righteousness of Christ.

(J. H. Evans, M. A.)108
