How do we know that we have eternal life?

Eternal life is granted through faith in Jesus Christ, who has the power to give life. According to John 5:24, those who hear Christ's word and believe in Him possess eternal life and will not face condemnation. This assurance comes from understanding that our life is rooted in Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection. The gospel, therefore, assures believers that once they have eternal life, it cannot be taken away. They are kept by God’s power through faith, indicating that salvation is secure, grounded not in human effort but in divine grace.
