What does eternal life mean in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Eternal life refers to a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, characterized by knowing Him intimately.

Jesus defines eternal life in John 17:3 as knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent. This knowing is not mere intellectual acknowledgment but an experiential relationship that transforms the believer's life. In the context of sovereign grace theology, eternal life is a gift from God, granted to the elect, demonstrating His mercy and grace. It signifies not just unending existence but a quality of life that starts now and will continue into eternity, filled with divine fellowship and joy.
Scripture References: John 17:3, 2 Peter 1:4
