What does the Bible say about the life that God gives?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that life is a gift from God, emphasizing the spiritual life that is provided through Christ.
Scripture affirms that life, both physical and spiritual, is bestowed by God. In Jeremiah 45:5, the Lord declares to Baruch that His life will be given as a 'prey,' illustrating how God protects and preserves life amid calamity. This physical life is acknowledged as a fundamental gift from the Creator, who formed man in His image and breathes life into him (Genesis 2:7). Moreover, the gift of spiritual life, particularly eternal life, is freely given through the Lord Jesus Christ, who states in John 10:10 that He has come to give life more abundantly. Thus, it emphasizes a recognition of God's sovereignty in every aspect of our existence, highlighting our dependence on Him for both natural and spiritual life.
