How do we know eternal life is a present reality for believers?

Answered in 1 source

John 5:24 and 1 John 5:11-12 affirm that believers already possess eternal life through faith in Christ.

The assurance that eternal life is a present reality for believers is grounded in Scripture. In John 5:24, Jesus declares that those who hear His word and believe in the One who sent Him have crossed over from death to life. This indicates that eternal life is not solely a future expectation but a current experience for believers in Christ. Similarly, in 1 John 5:11-12, the Apostle John explicitly states that God has given us eternal life, and this life is found in His Son. This underscores the belief that eternal life begins at the moment of faith in Christ and is characterized by a transformative relationship with Him—a relationship that makes believers spiritually alive, despite the decay of their physical bodies.
