What Does the Bible Say About Life?

From the creation account in Genesis when God spoke life into existence to the new heaven and earth in the book of Revelation, the Bible is a book of life. In His Word, we learn that God is the source of life who breathed the breath of life into humans. This life is a precious gift from God and should be treated with extreme reverence and respect.

The Bible also has much to say about the purpose of life, the correct way to live life, and how we can enjoy life to its fullest. In God’s Word, we gain an understanding that life is so much more than mere physical existence but encompasses spiritual life through a living relationship with God. Humans experience spiritual life which leads ultimately to eternal life only through faith in the redemptive work of God in Jesus Christ.

Source of Life

According to the Bible, all life comes from God, both physical and spiritual. God holds the power of life and death in His hands. The Bible also says that Jesus, the Son of God, is the Author of Life. Jesus Himself stated, “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6).

Genesis 2:7

Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. (NIV)

Amen and To God Be The Glory...
