The ethical importance of the immortality of the soul
Our eternal destiny has clear consequences for the way in which we live our lives. For if it is true that we ‘reap what we sow’ (Gal 6:7) then we must be ever prudent in the conduct of our behaviour. Our freedom is placed in the context of justice if we have had our opportunity to prove ourselves. If we were only to live finitely then it would be near impossible to justify ethical behaviour apart from a selfish beginning. If we were only to live for a period only the principles of nothingness would prevail- at that would be our ultimate destiny. Our belief in what is beyond has direct relevance to our approach to what is clearly in front of us daily.
