How do we know that we have eternal life?

Answered in 8 sources

We can know we have eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ and the assurance given in Scripture that those who believe in Him have eternal life.

The assurance of eternal life is grounded in our belief in Jesus Christ, as articulated in 1 John 5:13. John writes to those who believe on the name of the Son of God, affirming that they may know they have eternal life. This is foundational to the sovereign grace theology, which emphasizes that salvation is not uncertain but rests in the completed work of Christ. Our assurance is also confirmed through the transformative work of grace in our lives, which leads us to a relationship with God characterized by love and obedience. The knowledge of our salvation brings joy and confidence before God, assuring us of our place in His eternal kingdom.
