"Love the LORD your God, that
you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and
the length of your days."
(Genesis 2:7) 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 being.
(Deuteronomy 30:19-20) "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you,
that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore
choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; {20} "that you may
love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to
Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in
the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to
give them."
(Psalms 16:11) You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness
of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
(Psalms 27:1) The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD
is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
(Psalms 36:5-9) Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches
to the clouds. {6} Your righteousness is like the great mountains; Your
judgments are a great deep; O LORD, You preserve man and beast. {7} How precious
is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust
under the shadow of Your wings. {8} They are abundantly satisfied with the
fullness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your
pleasures. {9} For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.
(Psalms 91:14-16) "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver
him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. {15} He shall call
upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver
him and honor him. {16} With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My
salvation."
(Psalms 103:1-5) Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His
holy name! {2} Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: {3}
Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, {4} Who redeems
your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender
mercies, {5} Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is
renewed like the eagle's.
(Psalms 119:48-50) My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments, Which I
love, And I will meditate on Your statutes. {49} Remember the word to Your
servant, Upon which You have caused me to hope. {50} This is my comfort in my
affliction, For Your word has given me life.
(Psalms 119:92-93) Unless Your law had been my delight, I would then have
perished in my affliction. {93} I will never forget Your precepts, For by them
You have given me life.
(Proverbs 3:1-2) My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my
commands; {2} For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you.
(Proverbs 4:20-23) My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my
sayings. {21} Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of
your heart; {22} For they are life to those who find them, And health to all
their flesh. {23} Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the
issues of life.
(Proverbs 9:10-11) "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the
knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. {11} For by me your days will be
multiplied, And years of life will be added to you.
(Proverbs 12:28) In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there
is no death.
(Matthew 7:13-14) "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is
the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. {14}
"Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and
there are few who find it.
(Matthew 10:37-39) "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of
Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. {38} "And
he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. {39} "He
who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find
it.
(Luke 1:74-75) To grant us that we, Being delivered from the hand of our
enemies, Might serve Him without fear, {75} In holiness and righteousness before
Him all the days of our life.
(Luke 9:23-25) Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. {24} "For
whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My
sake will save it. {25} "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole
world, and is himself destroyed or lost?
(John 1:1-4) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. {2} He was in the beginning with God. {3} All things were made
through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. {4} In Him was
life, and the life was the light of men.
(John 3:14-17) "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so
must the Son of Man be lifted up, {15} "that whoever believes in Him should not
perish but have eternal life. {16} "For God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life. {17} "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn
the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
(John 3:35-36) "The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His
hand. {36} "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not
believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
(John 4:13-14) Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water
will thirst again, {14} "but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him
will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a
fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."
(John 5:21-27) "For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even
so the Son gives life to whom He will. {22} "For the Father judges no one, but
has committed all judgment to the Son, {23} "that all should honor the Son just
as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the
Father who sent Him. {24} "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word
and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into
judgment, but has passed from death into life. {25} "Most assuredly, I say to
you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the
Son of God; and those who hear will live. {26} "For as the Father has life in
Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, {27} "and has given
Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
(John 6:27) "Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which
endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the
Father has set His seal on Him."
(John 6:32-35) Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did
not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from
heaven. {33} "For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives
life to the world." {34} Then they said to Him, "Lord, give us this bread
always." {35} And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to
Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
(John 6:39-40) "This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has
given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. {40}
"And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and
believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last
day."
(John 6:47-48) "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has
everlasting life. {48} "I am the bread of life.
(John 6:50-51) "This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat
of it and not die. {51} "I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If
anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give
is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world."
(John 6:63) "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The
words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
(John 8:12) Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the
world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of
life."
(John 10:9-10) "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and
will go in and out and find pasture. {10} "The thief does not come except to
steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and
that they may have it more abundantly.
(John 10:27-30) "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
{28} "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall
anyone snatch them out of My hand. {29} "My Father, who has given them to Me, is
greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand.
{30} "I and My Father are one."
(John 11:25-27) Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who
believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. {26} "And whoever lives and
believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" {27} She said to Him,
"Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come
into the world."
(John 12:25-26) "He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life
in this world will keep it for eternal life. {26} "If anyone serves Me, let him
follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me,
him My Father will honor.
(John 14:6-7) Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through Me. {7} "If you had known Me, you would have
known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him."
(John 17:3) "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true
God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
(Acts 2:25-28) "For David says concerning Him: 'I foresaw the LORD always before
my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken. {26} Therefore my
heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in
hope. {27} For You will not leave my soul in Hades, Nor will You allow Your Holy
One to see corruption. {28} You have made known to me the ways of life; You will
make me full of joy in Your presence.'
(Acts 13:47-48) "For so the Lord has commanded us: 'I have set you as a light to
the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.'" {48}
Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the
Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.
(Acts 17:24-25) "God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord
of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. {25} "Nor is He
worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all
life, breath, and all things.
(Romans 5:20-21) Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But
where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, {21} so that as sin reigned in
death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
(Romans 6:4-11) Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death,
that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
we also should walk in newness of life. {5} For if we have been united together
in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His
resurrection, {6} knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that
the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of
sin. {7} For he who has died has been freed from sin. {8} Now if we died with
Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, {9} knowing that Christ,
having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion
over Him. {10} For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the
life that He lives, He lives to God. {11} Likewise you also, reckon yourselves
to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 6:22-23) But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves
of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. {23} For
the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus
our Lord.
(Romans 8:5-6) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the
things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of
the Spirit. {6} For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded
is life and peace.
(Romans 8:9-11) But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the
Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,
he is not His. {10} And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin,
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. {11} But if the Spirit of Him
who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead
will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
(2 Corinthians 4:11) For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus'
sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
(Galatians 2:20) "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live,
but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by
faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
(Galatians 6:7-8) Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man
sows, that he will also reap. {8} For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh
reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap
everlasting life.
(Colossians 3:1-4) If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which
are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. {2} Set your mind
on things above, not on things on the earth. {3} For you died, and your life is
hidden with Christ in God. {4} When Christ who is our life appears, then you
also will appear with Him in glory.
(2 Peter 1:2-3) Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and
of Jesus our Lord, {3} as His divine power has given to us all things that
pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by
glory and virtue,
(1 John 2:25) And this is the promise that He has promised us; eternal life.
(1 John 5:11-13) And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life,
and this life is in His Son. {12} He who has the Son has life; he who does not
have the Son of God does not have life. {13} These things I have written to you
who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have
eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of
God.
(1 John 5:20) And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an
understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true,
in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
(Revelation 2:7) "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which
is in the midst of the Paradise of God."'
(Revelation 3:5) "He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I
will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name
before My Father and before His angels.
(Revelation 21:5-7) Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all
things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."
{6} And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning
and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who
thirsts. {7} "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God
and he shall be My son.
(Revelation 22:14) Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have
the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
(Revelation 22:16-17) "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these
things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and
Morning Star." {17} And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who
hears say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take
the water of life freely.
