Eternal Life
Living without end
Eternal life is existence without end, especially the continuation of the soul after bodily death.
The concept is central to many religions, where it often means not just endless duration but a blessed state in the presence of God: The faithful shall receive eternal life.
In secular use, eternal life may refer to symbolic immortality through legacy or memory: Artists achieve a kind of eternal life through their work.
