How do we know the doctrine of eternal life through Jesus is true?

Answered in 1 source

We know this doctrine is true because God's Word explicitly states it, affirming life in His Son.

The doctrine of eternal life is rooted in divine testimony, as laid out in 1 John 5:11-12, where it states, 'And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.' This truth is not based on human reasoning but on the guaranteed authority of God's record. The Scripture teaches that belief in Jesus is paramount for possessing eternal life; hence, reliance on God's Word affirms the truthfulness of this doctrine.
