Jesus is LIFE

God Has Spoken… WORD! part 3

 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. John 1:4  

Jesus is the LIFE!!! and…

Jesus Gives Physical Life
Jesus, the Creator, has given life to ALL! 

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1
the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Genesis 2:7
But man (Adam) disobeyed God and the given life was corrupted.  So a new life is needed.

So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living soul"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:45

Jesus gives spiritual life, He did this by becoming the 2nd Adam and entering into the human drama.  The new life He gives is spiritual life.

Jesus Gives Spiritual Life
Jesus, the Life (2nd Adam), offers life to ALL!

This spiritual life comes also from Christ, but it comes from above, from God Himself.  This is why Jesus states:

"I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." John 3:3

The Spiritual Life that Jesus gives is described as  Abundant Life

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10

The Spiritual Life that Jesus gives is described as Eternal Life

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 John 5:11-13

 Intrinsically, Jesus is the Life.  To have the Son is to have the Life, and if you have the Son then… Live the Life (see John 15:5).
