What does it mean that Jesus is the life?

Answered in 4 sources

Jesus being the life signifies that He is the source of spiritual life and eternal existence for believers.

In John 14:6, when Jesus states 'I am the life,' it signifies that He is the foundation for all spiritual vitality and eternal life. Believers are reminded in Colossians 3:3 that 'your life is hid with Christ in God.' This speaks to the unity that believers have with Christ; our identity and hope are fully wrapped in Him. The life that Jesus offers is not just an extension of earthly existence, but a transformative spiritual life that radically alters how one lives, thinks, and engages with God and others. This life is characterized by peace, righteousness, and joy that stems from being reconciled with God. Thus, recognizing Jesus as life is crucial for understanding how Christians should live daily in the light of their relationship with Him.
