Eternal life is affirmed through Scripture, particularly in the teachings of Jesus and the apostolic writings that highlight God's promise.
The truth of eternal life is firmly established in the teachings of Jesus and the entirety of Scripture. Jesus Himself states in John 17:3 that knowing God and Him is the essence of eternal life. Moreover, Scripture promises that eternal life is a gift from God, described in Romans 6:23 as a gift through Jesus Christ our Lord. The biblical narrative consistently points to God's sovereign grace in giving eternal life, confirming its truth through the prophecies, fulfilled promises, and the resurrection of Christ as a pivotal moment in salvation history, assuring believers of their eternal inheritance.
