How do we know that God has the power to give life?

The Bible clearly affirms that life belongs to God alone, as illustrated in 1 Samuel 2:6, where it states, 'The Lord killeth and maketh alive.' This means that it is God who breathes life into creation and controls the moments of life and death. In the context of Jesus’ miracles, when He raised the dead, He was exercising this divine authority, demonstrating that He is the Creator who has power over both life and death. Thus, when we see Jesus perform these miracles, they serve as affirmations of His divine nature, aligning with the biblical truth that God is the ultimate giver of life and sustainer of all creation. This aligns with the Reformed understanding of God's sovereignty in all aspects, including life and death.
