How do we know eternal life is possible?

The impossibility of attaining eternal life through human effort is a central theme in scripture. Jesus explicitly stated in Matthew 19:26, 'With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.' This underscores the divine sovereignty in salvation, teaching that it is God who initiates and completes the work of salvation through Christ's obedience and sacrifice. Christ fulfilled all righteousness, obeying the law perfectly and dying for the sins of His people, making eternal life accessible to them by faith alone.
