'Life' in the Bible

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

for He delivered us and saved us and called us with a holy calling [a calling that leads to a consecrated life—a life set apart—a life of purpose], not because of our works [or because of any personal merit—we could do nothing to earn this], but because of His own purpose and grace [His amazing, undeserved favor] which was granted to us in Christ Jesus before the world began [eternal ages ago],

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure [from this world] is at hand and I will soon go free.

For Demas has gone away from me, for love of this present life, and has gone to Thessalonica: Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
