Eternal life is what is given to those who choose to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It means that we will not face eternal separation from God (eternal death or Hell), but will walk in resurrected life with Jesus in Heaven when we die.

We cannot have eternal life without receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior. And we cannot really get to know God without receiving eternal life through Jesus.
