What comfort do you receive from the article “life everlasting?”

Heidelberg Catechism

Question 58.
What comfort do you receive from the article “life everlasting?”

Answer. That, inasmuch as I now feel in my heart the beginning of eternal joy,[1] I shall after this life possess complete blessedness, such as eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has entered into the heart of man,[2] therein to praise God forever.[3]
