Life A state of active existence.
1. Human life is the continuance or duration of our present state, and which the Scriptures represent as short and vain, Job 1:14-2. James 4:14.
2. Spiritual life consists in our being in the favour of God, influenced by a principle of grace. God, influenced by a principle of grace, and living dependent on him. It is considered as of divine origin, Colossians 3:4. hidden, Colossians 3:3. peaceful, Romans 8:6. secure, John 10:28.
3. Eternal life is that never-ending state of existence which the saints shall enjoy in heaven, and is glorious, Colossians 3:4. holy, Revelation 21:27. and blissful, 1 Peter 1:4. 2 Corinthians 4:17.
