How does Christ's work provide eternal life?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's work provides eternal life as He earned it through His perfect obedience and sacrificial death (John 17:2).

Eternal life is a gift that Christ gives to those whom the Father has chosen, as articulated in John 17:2, where Jesus states that He has been given authority to grant eternal life to all whom the Father has given Him. This life is secured through the righteousness that Christ achieved via His obedience and sacrificial death. His work fulfills the demands of justice by taking upon Himself the penalty of sin, thus allowing for the imputation of His righteousness to believers. Therefore, eternal life is not merely a future hope but a present reality for those united to Christ through faith, grounded in His completed work.
