What is the relation between sovereign grace and eternal life?

Answered in 1 source

Sovereign grace is intrinsically linked to eternal life, as it grants the believer new life and a new nature through Christ.

In the context of sovereign grace, eternal life is not merely a future hope but a current reality for believers, as indicated in Romans 5:21, where grace reigns through righteousness unto eternal life. This eternal life entails receiving the very life of God in our souls, transforming us into new creations. It emphasizes the necessity of understanding one’s spiritual condition—being dead in sin—while also embracing the truth that sovereign grace brings life, hope, and assurance for the believer. By establishing this connection, we see that the gift of eternal life is a testament to the unmerited favor God extends to those He has chosen, solidifying the necessity of grace in salvation.
