How do we know that belief in Christ leads to eternal life?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible asserts that those who believe in Christ will have everlasting life as a promise from God.

John 3:36 clearly states, 'He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life.' This promise of eternal life is rooted in the sovereign authority of God, affirming that salvation is a gift of grace rather than a work of man. The assurance of eternal life is foundational to the Reformed faith, as it emphasizes God’s initiative in redemption. The necessity of belief is underscored throughout Scripture, where faith is not only a response to God's revelation but also the means by which believers accept God's gift of salvation. Conversely, the latter part of the verse warns that unbelief results in the continuing wrath of God, highlighting the importance of faith in Jesus as the sole mediator of that everlasting life (1 Timothy 2:5).
