How do we know Jesus is the source of eternal life?
Answered in 3 sources
We know Jesus is the source of eternal life because the Bible affirms this truth in multiple passages.
The assurance that Jesus is the source of eternal life is found throughout Scripture. In 1 John 5:11-12, it is explicitly stated that this life is 'in His Son.' The testimony of God reinforces this, providing evidence that eternal life is a gift contingent upon the believer's relationship with Christ. Jesus Himself affirmed this in John 14:6, declaring, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.' This establishes Christ not only as the path to God but also as the very essence of life itself.
