Our grief over the death of our close ones would be inconsolable and boundless if the Lord had not given us eternal life.
Our life would be meaningless if it ended with death. What benefit, then, would there be from virtue or good deeds? They would be right who say, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!” But man was created for immortality….
