Which trio summarizes the outcomes associated with eternal life?

• A. Faith, hope, and love
• B. Righteousness, regeneration, and holiness
• C. Peace, joy, and comfort
• D. Wisdom, knowledge, and power

Answer: (B)

The results believers experience with eternal life are righteousness, regeneration, and holiness. When someone receives eternal life, they are brought into right standing with God—that's righteousness—through faith in Christ, meaning God declares them acceptable and cleansed. Regeneration refers to the spiritual new birth the Holy Spirit works in a person, waking them to a new life and aligning their desires with God. Holiness is the ongoing transformation that follows—sanctification—as the believer grows to reflect God’s character in daily living.

These three together capture the sequence and shape of eternal life: the right standing with God (righteousness), the internal spiritual birth (regeneration), and the ongoing character change (holiness). While the other options point to important Christian truths—faith, hope, and love as essential virtues; peace, joy, and comfort as blessings of salvation; or wisdom, knowledge, and power as gifts—none express the specific trio that this item is highlighting for eternal life.
