What does eternal life mean according to the Bible?

Answered in 6 sources

Eternal life, as stated in John 17:3, refers to knowing God and Jesus Christ, which is both a present and future experience.

In John 17:3, Christ defines eternal life not merely as endless existence but as a profound relationship with God: 'This is eternal life, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent.' This understanding encompasses both an intimate knowledge and personal relationship with God in this life and the promise of everlasting communion in the life to come. Eternal life reflects the transforming grace of God which begins in the hearts of those who believe and culminates in eternal fellowship with Him.
