How God Set Eternity in Our Hearts: 10 Scriptures

As Easter approaches, we remember the crucifixtion of Jesus on the cross and celebrate the risen Savior. So it’s a good time to consider how God set eternity in our hearts (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

Before I met Jesus as Savior and Lord at sixteen, eternity wasn’t something I thought about. But salvation scriptures show us how God set eternity in our hearts from the beginning.

But as I understood God’s story in sending Jesus, His Son, to die for me, eternity became a vital part of my God-story.

Because according to the Bible, the gospel message is the foundation of these main essentials:

Jesus. The Savior who loves us and takes away the sins of the world.

Salvation. Eternal life provided through the bloodshed of Jesus.

Eternity. Spiritual life after this physical life in either heaven or hell.

So let’s look at a list of scriptures from the Bible that show us our need for salvation, the gift of eternal life, and how this gift shows us how God set eternity in our hearts from the beginning.
