How do we know we will have eternal life after death?
Answered in 1 source
Believers have the assurance of eternal life through Christ, who declared in John 11:25 that whoever believes in Him will never die.
The assurance of eternal life for believers is deeply rooted in the teachings of Christ. In John 11:25, Jesus proclaims, 'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies.' This powerful declaration reassures us of our continuous existence beyond physical death. Paul's writings affirm this as well, asserting that the souls of the righteous do not cease to exist but are kept alive in Christ. As believers, our confidence in the promise of resurrection and eternal life is not based on our own merit but on the complete sufficiency of Christ's redemptive work.
