Eternal life is a gift from God, as indicated in John 10:28, where Jesus states He gives eternal life to His sheep.
Eternal life is affirmed as a divine gift in John 10:28, where Jesus declares, 'I give unto them eternal life.' This gift signifies that eternal life is not earned or merited by human effort; instead, it is granted freely by Christ to those whom the Father has given Him. It emphasizes that our salvation and security hinge entirely on God's grace and Christ’s redemptive work rather than our abilities or failures, reinforcing the Reformed belief in the gifts of faith and repentance as bestowed by God.
