How can a person attain eternal life according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

A person attains eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ, as per John 3:36.

Eternal life is not a matter of human effort or personal merit; it is attained solely through faith in Jesus Christ. As John 3:36 states, 'He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life,' highlighting the necessity of belief in Christ as the means to receive this life. This faith involves more than intellectual assent; it is a heartfelt trust in Jesus as Savior and Lord. The work of the Holy Spirit is instrumental in enabling this faith, awakening spiritual understanding in a person who is otherwise dead in sins (Ephesians 2:1). Ultimately, this faith leads to a transformation of life, underscoring that eternal life begins the moment one believes and continues into eternity.
