What role does the Holy Spirit play in granting eternal life?

Answered in 1 source

The Holy Spirit is essential in granting eternal life as He quickens hearts to believe and assures believers of their life in Christ.

The Holy Spirit is integral to the process of salvation, as He is the one who imparts spiritual life to believers. In John 3, Jesus teaches about the necessity of being born again of the Spirit, emphasizing that our natural condition is dead in sin and unable to respond to God. The Spirit not only quickens the dead hearts but also gives assurance of salvation, as seen in Romans 8:16 where the Spirit bears witness with our spirit. This work of the Holy Spirit is essential for understanding and embracing the truth of eternal life in Christ and is the mechanism through which believers are drawn to faith.
