What does the Bible say about knowing we have eternal life?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that we can know we have eternal life through our love for the brethren as stated in 1 John 3:14.

The assurance of eternal life is a fundamental theme in Scripture, particularly emphasized in 1 John 5:13, where the apostle John writes so that believers may know they have eternal life. This knowledge is not based merely on subjective feelings but is confirmed by observable evidence in our lives. According to 1 John 3:14, we know that we have passed from death to life because we love the brethren. This love is a fruit of being born of God and indicative of the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. Loving others is a sign of genuine faith and the presence of eternal life within us.
