Titus 3:7

‘That, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.’

And the result of this life-giving experience, as a consequence of our also being accounted as righteous by His unmerited favour, is that we are made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. As heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ we can look forward with confident hope to Life in all its heavenly fullness (Romans 8:17), adding even more to the life that we have already received. This was where we came in, in Titus 1:2, for as we have seen in the introduction above it is a keynote of the Gospel. Note how in Romans 8:9-17 this life is directly connected with the Holy Spirit and the resurrection.
