Why do you conclude also the Third Article of the Creed with the words: “This is most certainly true”?

I conclude also the Third Article of the Creed with the words: “This is most certainly true”, because, as I continue my journey to heaven, I firmly believe that the Holy Spirit will accomplish in me and in the entire Church, that which I confess in this Article.

Are you sure that you will get to heaven?

God has already hre in time called us by the Gospel, enlightened and sanctified and preserve us in the true faith. I am also sure that He has already in eternity elected me to eternal life and that no one can pluck me out of His hand.

There is only an election of grace; there is no election to eternal death. God has not in eternity elected anyone to hell, but unbelievers are lost by their own fault.

Col. 3:3-4: For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.

Who will receive eternal life?

Everyone who believes in Christ will receive everlasting life. We already possess it through faith, but we will enjoy it in its fulness only when we are in heaven. Those who die in unbelief will not attain eternal life, but will be eternally damned.

What does the Bible teach concerning everlasting life?

Everlasting life is unspeakably wonderful bliss, peace, righteousness, joy and glory, when we can see the Lamb of God face to face and be free of sin and its curse. Everlasting life is a spiritual type of life. When our bodies have been glorified, they will no longer have temporal needs. We will not partake of earthly food in heaven, nor will there be marriage there, but we will be like the angels.
