How is eternal life defined in Christian theology?

Answered in 1 source

In Christian theology, eternal life is defined as knowing God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.

Eternal life, as explained in John 17:3, is fundamentally about a relationship with God, characterized by knowledge and intimacy with the Father and His Son. This understanding transcends mere duration of existence; rather it reflects a quality of life that begins in the present for believers. Through the redemptive work of Christ, those elected by God are granted this eternal life which is brought to light through faith in Him. Additionally, this eternal relationship assures believers of their standing before God, where they experience His love, mercy, and grace now and for all eternity.
