We know Christ is the source of all life from Scripture, which affirms that He is the Creator and sustainer of all things.
Scripture is clear on the role of Christ in relation to life. John 1:3 states, 'All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.' This indicates that life, both physical and spiritual, originates from Christ as the Creator. Paul further elaborates in Colossians 1:17 that 'He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.' Thus, life is sustained by Christ, highlighting His preeminence in all aspects of existence. Understanding this is crucial for believers, as it unites the themes of creation, redemption, and ultimate purpose under Christ's sovereignty.
