'Life' in the Bible

and to [look forward and confidently] wait for [the coming of] His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus, who [personally] rescues us from the coming wrath [and draws us to Himself, granting us all the privileges and rewards of a new life with Him].

You are witnesses, with God, how holy and upright and free from all evil was our way of life among you who have faith;

For it is life to us if you keep your faith in the Lord unchanged.

Finally, believers, we ask and admonish you in the Lord Jesus, that you follow the instruction that you received from us about how you ought to walk and please God (just as you are actually doing) and that you excel even more and more [pursuing a life of purpose and living in a way that expresses gratitude to God for your salvation].

For this is God's will--your purity of life, that you abstain from fornication;

Because it is God's purpose that our way of life may be not unclean but holy.

to seek to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

In this way you will live a decent life before outsiders and not be in need.

For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the [blast of the] trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

He died for us so that whether we are alert or asleep we will come to life together with him.

In every circumstance of life be thankful; for this is God's will in Christ Jesus respecting you.
