eternal life
Living without end
Eternal life is existence that continues forever, especially the belief in conscious survival after bodily death.
The concept is central to many religions, where it typically means the soul's unending existence in heaven or paradise: She believed in eternal life through faith.
The phrase sometimes appears in secular contexts to describe lasting legacy or influence: Artists achieve a kind of eternal life through their work.
