Christians can be assured of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ, who has paid the debt for sin.
The assurance of eternal life for Christians is rooted in the belief that Jesus Christ, as the Good Shepherd, has laid down His life for His sheep. In John 10:28, Jesus assures us that no one can snatch His sheep out of His hand, providing confidence in their eternal security. This assurance is not based on individual merit or works but on the finished work of Christ and the grace of God, who chose His people before the foundation of the world. Through faith, one enters the sheepfold, and this faith is a gift granted by the Holy Spirit, making the believer's assurance secure and grounded in Scripture's promises.
