Life (Heb. jayyîm ; Gr. zí‡e, bíos). The phenomenon of life, in the Bible, is presented as a unitary whole, with no distinction between physical, intellectual or spiritual life. It should be noted that, always within this concept, zí‡e; refers to life in its biological aspect, and bios to life in a moral or ethical sense (kind of life). But even so, life in man occurs as a whole and is rather described graphically instead of being conceptualized with theoretical rigor. Thus breath and blood are spoken of as manifestations of life (Gen 2:7; Lev 7:11); life that is concretized with the images of water and light (Gen 2:5; Isa 58:8). God is the Living One par excellence, the source of life (Eze 17:19; 33:11; Deu 33:15). The distance that exists between God and created life is covered by the Spirit (Heb. Rúaj; gr. Pnéuma); everything that carries life in the cosmos has it by virtue of the Ruach of God (Psa 104:30). The Christian concept of life holds that Christ, the prototype of true life (1Co. 15:23), is the source of it (1Co 15:45; Joh 14:6). It is in Christ that authentic living before God takes place for humanity, the true religious direction of life. This Christian life is a penetration of life in all the spheres of the human being: a new creation that gives impetus to all other kinds of life (2Co 5:17; Gal. 2:20). Christian hope weighs on the future of life (Titus 1:2; 3:7); eternal life that will overcome death* thanks to the fact that Christ, God, is life and resurrection (Joh 11:25), life and immortality (Heb 7:16; Rev 20:14).

Latin life. State of activity of organic beings that manifests itself in growth, the ability to renew, interact and reproduce. In the Scriptures, there is no abstract concept about v. This is taken existentially, as a concrete phenomenon. the v properly so, it occurs in man and in animals, which are designated as nefes hajjah, which means “beings that breathe and live”. The Hebrews saw breathing as the natural cause of v., and that it circulated through the blood, and blood was for them the seat of v. That is, where there is no blood or breath, there is no v. As in vegetables, there is no life in the true sense of the word, as in man; nor animals, the Hebrew verb hajjah always has man as its subject.
On the other hand, in the OT there is no distinction or division between v. physics and v. spiritual, v. Human, on the contrary, is a whole.
the v it comes from God who gives man breath, nefes, and is a living being, Gn 2, 7. Therefore, if God gives the v., he is the owner of it and man cannot dispose of it at his will; †œYahweh gives v. and death† , 1 S 2, 6. The v. is paradoxical, the h. he wants to prolong it to the maximum, he gives to have it whatever it is, Jb 2, 4; however, it is ephemeral, so sometimes there is a certain pessimism in sacred authors; for some the v. passes like a shadow, Jb 8, 9; Salt 39 (38), 7; 10, 20; the days are numbered and the v. of man, Qo 2, 3; the v it is short and sad, Wis 2, 1; living is vain, Qo 6, 12; almost all the years of man are of fatigue and vanity, Ps 90 (89), 9-10.
Longevity is a sign of God’s benevolence Gn 15, 15. In the OT, there was no concept of v. from beyond the grave, from v. a doctrine of retribution, of the distinct end of the just and the wicked. According to the OT, whoever dies, good or bad, goes to ® sheol, they did not have the concept of ® resurrection; in sheol, gloomy place the v. reduced to its smallest expression, those who are there cannot even praise God. Over time this thought changed and at the end of the Old Testament era there are texts that affirm the resurrection of the flesh, Wisdom 4, 14; Dan 12, 2; 2 M 7, 36.

It can denote physical or natural life, whether animal (Gen 1:20; Gen 6:17; Rev 8:9) or human (Lev 17:14; Mat 2:20; Luk 12:22). It is the vital principle that God imparted to the human being (Gen 2:7). This life is a precious gift and the taking of life is forbidden (Gen 9:5; Exo 20:13; Lev 24:17). It can mean the period of a person’s earthly existence, one’s life span (Gen 23:1; Gen 25:7; Luk 16:25), or the relationships, activities, and experiences that constitute life (Exo 1: 14; Deu 32:47; Job 10:1; Luke 12:15). Sometimes it means one’s way of life (1Ti 2:2; 1Jo 2:16) or the means of sustaining life (Deu 24:6; 1Jo 3:17). It is the gift of God, mediated by faith in Jesus Christ (Joh 3:36; Joh 5:24; Rom 5:10; Rom 6:23; 1Jo 5:12). Involving the imparting of a new nature (2Pe 1:3-4), the new life is transmitted to the believer now, with the result that he has communion with God in Christ, which is not interrupted by physical death (1Th 5: 10). He will find the perfection and blessed complete reality of himself with God in the life to come (Rom 2:7; 2Co 5:4). As the living God (Deu 5:26; Psa 42:2; 1Th 1:9; 1Ti 3:15), the eternal and self-existent, God possesses absolute life in himself (Joh 5:26) and is the source and father of all life (Psa 36:9; Joh 1:4; Joh 17:3; 1Jo 1:1-2; 1Jo 5:21).

1- “Bios”: It is physical, biological life, Luc 8:14, 1Ti 2:2, 1Jn 2:16.
2- “Psyjé”: psychic life, “soul”, which makes the body not a corpse, Mat 2:20, Mat 8:35, Rom 11:3.

There are 4 kinds of “life”, at least.
1- “Physical life”: The one we live on earth, to which we die due to the separation of the soul from the body, and to which we die only once, and then the judgment, Heb 9:27.
2- “Spiritual life”: Which is the union of the person with God, who dies for “sin”, separating the person from God, Gen 2:18, Rom 5:12, Rom 8:6, Col 3:3, Joh 3:16, Joh 3:36.
3- “Eternal Life”: Divine Life from Heaven, eternal, which begins here, on earth, by faith, Jua 3:36, Jua 5:24.

– It is the award for “good works” done with “faith”, Mat 25:31-46, Rom 2:5-11, 1Co 2:5, Rev 20:11-15, Eph 2:8-10, Joh 5:29, Matt 16:27.

The Hebrew term hayyim is translated as v. in the OT. The origin of v. it is in God (†œ… with you is the spring of v.† ). One of his names is “the living God” (Deu 5:26; Jos 3:10), by which he is distinguished from idols, dead gods, or non-gods. he is the God who acts, who “neither faints nor wears out with weariness” (Isa 40:28). the v it is movement, action. The Hebrews did not have the concept of a v. contemplative, but one that was expressed in activity. God is the one who gives life to all things. the v appears in the last phase of “creation, when God created “the great sea monsters, and every living thing that moves” (Gen 1:21) and also the human being (“…and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man was a living being† ), conceived in Hebrew thought as an animated body, a whole that does not separate the concepts of body and soul. †¢Death is introduced into the story as a consequence of the †¢fall. God made man to live and…
