How can Christians be assured of their place in eternity?

The assurance of eternal life for Christians rests in their union with Christ through faith. 1 John 5:11-12 states that eternal life is found in the Son, meaning that those who have faith in Jesus Christ possess this life. Additionally, biblical teachings assert that believers are justified by faith and clothed in Christ’s righteousness (Romans 5:1-2). This union secures their position before God, and because their salvation is upheld by God’s grace, they can confidently await His return, knowing they stand justified in Christ.
