How do we know Jesus has authority over eternal life?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus has been given authority over all flesh to grant eternal life to those given to Him by the Father (John 17:2).

In John 17:2, Jesus declares that the Father has given Him authority over all flesh to grant eternal life to everyone whom the Father has given Him. This underscores the sovereignty of God in choosing individuals for salvation. The exclusivity of Christ's role in granting eternal life points to His divine authority as the only mediator between God and man. Thus, any message stating otherwise fundamentally misrepresents the gospel and the identity of Jesus as revealed in Scripture.
