What does the Bible say about Jesus giving life to the dead?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus gives life to whom He will, reflecting His equal authority with God.

In John 5:21, it states, 'For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickens them, even so the Son quickens whom He will.' This reveals the sovereign authority of Jesus in granting life, emphasizing that both the Father and the Son operate under the same divine will. Jesus, being the Son of God, performs works that are uniquely His and carries the same attributes of divinity, including the power to resurrect the dead. This is central to the belief that salvation and eternal life are solely the work of Christ, confirming His deity and the necessity of faith in Him for regeneration and life eternal.
