Eternal life refers to life which overcomes death. Such life is granted by God to the righteous and it is linked with the notion of bodily resurrection and being in the presence of God (see Daniel 12:2; Isaiah 65:17–25).1 Gentiles who come to faith thereby show that they were destined for eternal life and chosen by God to be part of his people.2 God is sovereignly working to bring his elect to faith in Jesus Christ and add them to his church.
48 Les païens se réjouissaient en entendant cela, ils glorifiaient la parole du Seigneur, et tous ceux qui étaient destinés à la vie éternelle crurent.
