How do we know that Jesus gives us eternal life?

In John 17:2, Jesus claims authority over all humanity to express His divine ability to grant eternal life. This declaration underscores His unique role within the Godhead and assures believers that those chosen by the Father will indeed receive this gift. This passage reassures us of the certainty of eternal life provided through faith in Christ, grounding our hope in His redemptive work rather than in human effort or merit. The assurance embedded in this promise is foundational to the Reformed understanding of God's sovereignty in the salvation of His people.
