The Amish affirm the hope of eternal life with God for those who remain faithful. This eschatological hope sustains the community in its voluntary simplicity, separation from the world, and willingness to accept hardship. Life in this world is a temporary pilgrimage; the community lives in anticipation of God's eternal Kingdom.

The Amish do not typically elaborate detailed eschatological scenarios; they hold the hope of heaven with humble trust. The martyrdom tradition — from the Martyrs Mirror — reinforces the conviction that earthly loss for faithfulness leads to eternal gain.
