What does it mean to have eternal life through Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Eternal life through Christ means having a relationship with Him that begins now and continues forever.

Eternal life is a central theme in the New Testament, captured in John 17:3, which defines eternal life as knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent. This relationship is initiated through faith in Jesus, who says in John 12:49 that the commandment He received from the Father is life everlasting. Hence, eternal life is both a present possession and a future hope for believers. It transforms the lives of the redeemed, aligning their desires and actions with God’s will, resulting in a new identity as children of God and heirs of salvation. This dynamic relationship assures believers of their everlasting relationship with Christ.
