What does it mean that God has set eternity in our hearts?

Answered in 1 source

This suggests a divine awareness within us of our ultimate purpose, pointing to our need for a relationship with God that transcends temporal life.

In Ecclesiastes 3:11, the statement about God setting eternity in our hearts signifies that we have an inherent understanding of our need for something beyond this physical existence. This longing for eternity draws us toward communion with our Creator, highlighting the spiritual dimension of human experience. It compels believers to recognize the limitations of earthly pursuits and to seek fulfillment in God's eternal truth and hope. This awareness aligns with the redemptive purpose of God as we find our ultimate significance in the life to come through Jesus Christ, whom we are called to trust and follow.
