What does it mean that Jesus gives eternal life?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus grants eternal life to those who believe in Him, promising them a relationship with God that lasts forever.

Eternal life, as stated in John 17:3, is fundamentally defined as knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent. This promise of eternal life is based on the finished work of Christ, who, through His sacrifice, not only atoned for our sins but also established a new covenant that assures our reconciliation with God. The apostle Paul emphasizes the transformative aspect of eternal life in 2 Corinthians 5:17, indicating that being in Christ means becoming a new creation. Thus, eternal life isn't just a future hope; it signifies a present reality, where believers live under the lordship of Christ, experiencing the joys and responsibilities of a relationship with Him.
