Life: from God

Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.

He humbled you, and in your hunger He gave you manna to eat, which neither you nor your fathers had known, so that you might understand that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.

…and that you may love the LORD your God, obey Him, and hold fast to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your life in the land that the LORD swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

See now that I am He; there is no God besides Me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand.

For I lift up My hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever,

The LORD brings death and gives life; He brings down to Sheol and raises up.

…as long as my breath is still within me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,

If He were to set His heart to it and withdraw His Spirit and breath,

…all flesh would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.

All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him—even those unable to preserve their lives.

O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit.

Our God is a God of deliverance; the Lord GOD is our rescuer from death.

When You send Your Spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth.

…before the dust returns to the ground from which it came and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

O Lord, by such things men live, and in all of them my spirit finds life. You have restored me to health and have let me live. …

Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. …

As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.

I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in His testimony before Pontius Pilate:

Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.”
