How can we receive eternal life through Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

Eternal life is received by faith in Jesus Christ, who gives life to those who believe in Him.

Receiving eternal life is an act of faith in Jesus Christ as outlined in John 1:12, which states, 'But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.' This indicates that faith is not merely intellectual agreement but an active reception of Christ. Just as a thirsty person actively receives water, a sinner must receive Christ fully and completely to obtain eternal life. This act of receiving is entirely passive, highlighting that it is God's sovereign grace that enables a person to believe. Therefore, eternal life is not something one can earn, but a gracious gift from God granted upon belief in the Savior.
