'Life' in the Bible

And to you did he give life, when you were dead through your wrongdoing and sins,

which were once habitual to you while you walked in the ways of this world and obeyed the Prince of the powers of the air, the spirits that are now at work in the hearts of the sons of disobedience--to you God has given Life.

even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with Christ (for by His grace—His undeserved favor and mercy—you have been saved from God’s judgment).

For we are God's masterpiece, created in the Messiah Jesus to perform good actions that God prepared long ago to be our way of life.

So I, the prisoner for the Lord, appeal to you to live a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called [that is, to live a life that exhibits godly character, moral courage, personal integrity, and mature behavior—a life that expresses gratitude to God for your salvation],

Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

You took off your former way of life, the old self that is corrupted by deceitful desires;

And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living.

For be sure of this: no immoral, impure, or greedy person—for that one is [in effect] an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God [for such a person places a higher value on something other than God].

(for the fruit [the effect, the result] of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

so that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life in the land.
