Hey All,
Here is a simple question. Who is the giver of life? Could not be easier, right? God is the giver of life. Paul tells us this in Acts.
God gives life:
Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
The only issue I have is that the Bible is kind of wishy-washy on this. I found the following:
The Father gives life:
John 5:21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
Jesus gives life:
John 10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
The Holy Spirit gives life:
John 6:62-64 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
(definition - QUICKEN, quik'n.
1. Primarily, to make alive to vivify to revive or resuscitate, as from death or an inanimate state. Romans 4 .
2. To make alive in a spiritual sense to communicate a principle of grace to.)
So who really is the giver of life? How can all of those verses be true if only God gives life? You tell me.
Keep walking everybody.
May God bless,
Taz
