How do we know we are eternal beings?

Answered in 1 source

We know we are eternal beings because God has instilled in us a knowledge of immortality through Scripture and His Spirit.

In 2 Corinthians 5:1-5, the Apostle Paul assures believers that they possess an eternal dwelling from God, a house not made with hands. This knowledge is not speculative; it is affirmed by the Word of God and the teaching of the Holy Spirit. As creatures designed for eternity, we understand the dissolution of our earthly lives as merely that—temporary, akin to folding a tent. Immediately upon death, believers are consoled with the promise of being with the Lord, reflecting the certainty of our immortality. Indeed, as stated in Ecclesiastes 3:11, God has set eternity in our hearts, which instills in us an intrinsic understanding that we will live beyond our mortal existence, thus affirming our nature as eternal beings who will ultimately dwell with God or be separated from Him based on our faith in Christ.
