### 58. Q. How does the article concerning “life everlasting” comfort you?

**A**. Even as I already now experience in my heart the beginning of eternal joy,<sup>1</sup> so after this life I will have perfect blessedness such as no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has ever imagined: a blessedness in which to praise God eternally.<sup>2</sup>
