15 Bible Verses About Life – Jesus Gives Us Life With Overflow

Here are some Bible verses about life that talk about how we were given life by our creator and how Jesus came to give us life to the full.

I don’t know if you have ever felt like you are in a dry season in your life like there is a lack of joy and life and enjoyment of the things you are blessed with.

I think we all go through times like that when it feels like there is not much passion behind the things we do and it can be discouraging.

Sometimes I think we look for life in places where we can’t find it. Maybe we think that if we buy a certain thing or achieve a certain goal we will feel like life matters again.

A Way To Experience True Life

But what I can see looking back is that the moments where I have felt most alive are the moments spent with my creator.

Out of the moments spent with our heavenly Father letting him show us who he is and letting his Spirit lead us in everyday life, there is a life to the full that we can experience that we will find nowhere else.

That life can’t be bought with money. But it was paid for with a very high price when Jesus died for us on the cross.

Jesus tells us in John chapter 10 that:

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
John 10:10

The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus came so that we can have life, and have it to the full.

That kind of life, a life to the full, is the kind of life that this blog post is about.

15 Bible Verses About Life

The gospel of John tells us that Jesus brings life. Through Jesus, we can have life. Life that can’t be found in this world.

Jesus talks about himself as the bread of life. The life he gives us is eternal.

“Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.””
John 6:35

Jesus says that whoever believes in him, never will go hungry, and whoever believes in him will never be thirsty. The life we get through him brings satisfaction because it brings us closer to our creator. We were created to be in a close relationship with God and through believing in Jesus that is possible.

Jesus died for our sins, we now get to live holy through his forgiveness and can be close to our heavenly Father who is holy.

Jesus Is The Way, The Truth, And The Life

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.””
John 14:6

Jesus is the way and the truth and the LIFE. There is no way to the Father except through him.

“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.””
John 8:12

Jesus also talks about how he is the light of the world. Whoever follows Jesus will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

When we follow Jesus, we get to have the light of life.

What Does It Mean To Follow Jesus?

What does it mean then to follow Jesus? We can read in the Bible how Jesus called his disciples, how they dropped their nets and chose to leave everything behind and follow Jesus.

The word follow means to move behind someone or something and go where he, she, or it goes(Cambridge Dictionary).

When we follow someone, we go where the person we follow goes. We fully allow the person leading to show us where to go.

When we follow Jesus, he gets to show us how to live, how to speak, and how to think about things. It is a true transformation because we know that the life he gives is not of this world.

Whoever Has The Son Has Life – Bible Verses About Life Through Jesus

“Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.”
1 John 5:12

When we follow Jesus, we have life!

“And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.”
Romans 8:11

The Holy Spirit lives in us and God who raised Christ from the dead gives life to us!

In Christ All Will Be Made Alive

“For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.”
1 Corinthians 15:22

Through Christ we are made alive.

“The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.”
Romans 8:6

The mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

“For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.”
Matthew 16:25

If we choose to value following Jesus higher than things of this earth, we will find and experience true life.

“Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.”
Matthew 10:39

This is also said in Matthew chapter 10.

Jesus Gives Us Life To The Full

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20

The word of God is very clear about the fact that we get to wholeheartedly live our lives in a close relationship with Jesus. Through the Holy Spirit, we get to live, talk, and do things that bring life to us and the people around us.

“This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.”
1 John 4:9

I guess you see the pattern. Scripture just keeps repeating the same thing. God the Father sent his son into the world that we might live through him. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

When the word of God repeats itself, we get to give that some extra attention. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves over and over again what the scriptures say about certain things. How Jesus gives us life to the full is one eternal truth that we get to live out every day.

“Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”
Galatians 5:25

Let’s keep God’s word in the forefront of our minds. Let’s choose to read it in the start of our days and meditate on it throughout our days.

You Will Shine Like Stars In The Sky

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.”
Philippians 2:14-16

When we choose to live in a way that reflects who Jesus is we shine like stars in the sky. The ways of Jesus are not like the ways of this world.

In His Presence, We Know The Path Of Life

“You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”
Psalm 16:11

When we spend time in the presence of God we get to know the path of life. The teachings of Jesus truly transform us. Getting to know Jesus, reading about who he is in his word, and letting it transform the way we view ourselves and the people around us will make us live a life of truth and life to the full.

Life with Jesus is such an adventure. The word of God has truly transformed my life, the way I view myself, and the way I view this world.

I know that when we spend time reading the Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus to us, it starts to transform us deeply.
