How do we know God has given us eternal life?

Answered in 1 source

We know God has given us eternal life through His Word and the inner witness of the Holy Spirit.

The assurance of eternal life comes from understanding God's promises in Scripture, specifically in 1 John 5:11-13, where it is stated that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Furthermore, the believer has confidence in this truth through the inner witness of the Holy Spirit, as mentioned in verse 10. This means that once a person believes in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit bears witness to their spirit, affirming their status as a child of God. The evidence of this life is not found in our own works or feelings but in the faith given by God. Through this faith, we are enabled to trust in God's promises and have certainty in the life He has bestowed upon us.
