Christ Is Our Life

Life in Christ

John 1:4 The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.

A host of biochemists and other scientists have tried for over a century to determine how life evolved from non-life. Such a quest is absurdly impossible, for the simplest imaginary self-replicating system would be infinitely more complex than the most elaborate machine ever designed by man. Life can come only from life. The first human life, indeed the first living system of any kind, could only have come by special creation from the living God.

Psalm 139:14Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous-how well I know it.

Thus, “in him we live, and move, and He is “not far from every one of us” Acts 17:28, 27For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'├ö├ç┬¬├ö├ç┬¬"His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him-though he is not far from any one of us..

The Lord Jesus Christ is the one “by whom also He made the universe” and who now is “upholding all things by the power of his words

Hebrews 1:2-3And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe.The Son radiates God's own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven.

The beating of our hearts, the breathing of our lungs, the very atoms of our bodies, are continually sustained by Him. Were He to withdraw His power for a moment, life would cease and all light would become darkness. Even those who reject Him and blaspheme His name owe their very existence to His power and grace.

John 5:26The Father has life in himself, and he has granted that same life-giving power to his Son.Life is “in him“; He alone can conquer death and raise the dead.

John 5:21For just as the Father gives life to those he raises from the dead, so the Son gives life to anyone he wants.for as

1 Corinthians 15:45The Scriptures tell us, "The first man, Adam, became a living person." But the last Adam-that is, Christ-is a life-giving Spirit.

1 John 5:12Thus, “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God's Son does not have life.

Through faith in His sacrificial death and resurrection life,

Colossians 3:3-4

For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.

Henceforth is Christ Himself “our life”
