How can I permanently rebind keys?

I'd like to rebind C-ijkli, C-j, C-k, and C-l to act like the arrow keys. However, when using

(global-set-key (kbd "C-l") 'forward-char)

it will only do so for the session; the bindings don't persist after restarting Emacs.

Is there some way to automatically do this every time on startup or via a config file or something?
