Faith in eternal life is the foundation of Catholic doctrine. The message of this doctrine indicates that the final fate of every human being is Death, God's Judgment, Heaven or Hell. Jesus Christ proclaimed that the Kingdom of Heaven is the destiny of all people. Through his Passion, death and resurrection, he opened the "gates of heaven" for us, giving everyone the opportunity for salvation. Everyone who has the gift of free will can, however, reject God and His offer of salvation, thus condemning himself. The condition of hell and heaven is eternal and changeless. After death, people pass in a completely different way of life where there is no time, but only eternity. The essence of hell's punishment is the lack of God who is eternal love and goodness. The impossibility of being with God is the cause of eternal suffering.
