What does the Bible say about one life to live?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that our earthly life is a brief, God-given stewardship, followed by judgment, so we should live wisely through faith in Jesus Christ. Hebrews 9:27 says that people die once and then face judgment, while Hebrews 13:8 anchors hope in the unchanging Christ. Jesus promises eternal life to everyone who believes in him, declaring in John 6:47-50 that believers will not perish but live forever. Ephesians 5:15 calls Christians to walk carefully and make faithful use of their days. Mark 9:1 also reminds us that God’s kingdom breaks into history with real power. Therefore, life is not ours to squander, but to receive gratefully and devote to God’s glory.
