The Word, The Source of Life

Physical Life

John 1:4 AV

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Genesis 2:7 AV

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Jehovah formed- from the dust

God cursed the snake and made him eat dust

we are snake food

common people- Salt of the earth

must not think to highly of ourselves

Psalm 103:14 LEB

For he knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust.

Made us alive physically with His breath

but we died spiritually in Adam

born dead spiritually

Spiritual Life

Ephesians 2:1 LEB

And you, although you were dead in your trespasses and sins,

Ephesians 2:4–10 LEB

But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, and we being dead in trespasses, he made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved), and raised us together and seated us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, in order that he might show in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so that no one can boast. For we are his creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, so that we may walk in them.

Jesus is the source of spiritual life

Eternal Life

John 3:16 LEB

For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.

2 Thessalonians 1:8–9 LEB

with burning flame giving punishment to those who do not know God and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus, who will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,

all life will be eternal

every baby ever born is a eternal life

Abundant Life

John 10:10 AV

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Psalm 23:1–2 AV

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

What does abundance mean?

sheep will not eat lying down

will not lie down if bothered

scared

hngry

perfectly content our Good Shepherd has all our needs taken care of

a life of adventure

1 Corinthians 2:9 LEB

But just as it is written, “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and have not entered into the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him.”

Jesus is the source of life

Physical, spiritual, eternal, and abundant.
