Why is Christ called our life in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is referred to as our life because, through Him, believers receive spiritual life and sustenance that leads to eternal existence with God.

In Colossians 3:4, it is stated, 'When Christ, who is our life, shall appear...' This profound declaration signifies that Christ is not merely a part of our lives but is the very essence of our existence. Believers derive their spiritual vitality through their relationship with Jesus, who supplies the necessary grace and strength to live righteously. As stated in Acts 17:28, 'in Him we live and move and have our being.' This means that all aspects of a Christian's life should revolve around Christ and His work. By understanding that 'Christ is all and in all,' we recognize that our identity, purpose, and future are anchored in Him, affirming the necessity of Christ in the believer's life and the assurance of His eternal presence.
