Eternal Life

  1. Life with God in the highest degree of glory — often used interchangeably with exaltation.

In Latter-day Saint usage "eternal life" means more than living forever (which all people will do); it means the kind of life God lives, in His presence and as families. Scripture calls it "the greatest of all the gifts of God."
