How do we know that Jesus can give us eternal life?

Answered in 1 source

We know Jesus gives eternal life because He rose from the dead and promised that all who believe in Him will never die.

The assurance of eternal life through Jesus is solidified by His resurrection, which serves as the definitive proof of His divine authority. As John 11:25 states, 'He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.' This promise is not merely a statement but is rooted in the reality of Christ’s own victory over death. Those who trust in Him can be assured of their own resurrection, as He affirms the certainty of life beyond physical death for those who have faith.

Additionally, the transformative power of Christ's grace further supports this truth. As believers are united with Him in His death and resurrection, they are spiritually revitalized. The historical event of Lazarus coming back to life is emblematic of Jesus’ ability to revive the spiritually dead, showcasing His divine ability to quicken any heart. Thus, accepting Jesus as the resurrection and life is to grasp the promise of eternal life assured by His mighty works and sovereign grace, making it essential for all who seek hope and life.
