What does the Bible say about Christ coming to give life?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ came to give eternal life abundantly through His vicarious death.

In John 1:10-18, it's evident that Christ's primary mission was to provide eternal life for humanity. He explicitly states that He came so that men might have life and have it abundantly. This truth counters many misguided notions about His purpose, as He did not merely serve as a moral teacher or an example of holiness. Instead, Christ's coming was pivotal in making the way to eternal life clear and accessible. By His sacrifice, He offers a spiritual fountain of life, which all sinners can partake in by faith to truly live forever. The grace brought by Christ surpasses the law given by Moses, encapsulating the fullness of spiritual life that was previously only dimly understood by the saints of the Old Testament. Therefore, Christ’s coming brought life and immortality to light, fulfilling God’s redemptive plan from the beginning.
