In the Greek language, three different words bios, psuche, and zoe are translated as life in English, and each has a different meaning.This Greek word refers to the life of the physical body and is where we get the word biology.Psuche, in Matt. 16:25: For whoever wants to save his soul-life shall lose it.
The Greek word here refers to the psychological life of the human soul, that is, the mind, emotion, and will. It is where we get the word psychology. Zoe, in John 1:4: In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. Here the Greek word refers to the uncreated, eternal life of God, the divine life uniquely possessed by God. From the very beginning in Genesis, the Word of God presents the tree of life. The tree of life in the Garden of Eden signifies the divine, uncreated, incorruptible, indestructible, eternal life of Godthe zoe life. And in the Garden, God gave this tree of life to Adam as food. Although Adam was sinless, he possessed only the human life; he did not have the life of God. Gods intention was not just for Adam to be sinless, but even more, for Adam, representing all mankind, to take in and share His eternal life. Here, because mankind fell into sin, we see Gods provision of the precious blood of Christ for washing us so we can partake of the tree of life, the eternal life, which was Gods original intention. ![]() This is vastly different from thinking Christ came so that we could have a better or improved human life. The God who created the universe wants to share His divine life with us. But when we believed into the Lord Jesus Christ, we were not only redeemed; we also received the divine life ( zoe ) into us. This brings us back to Gods original intention for us, which is that we would have His life. Then the riches of His divine life will be lived out of us, and He will be manifest in our living to the people around us. We wont be disappointed when we cant seem to fix or improve ourselves. Well remember that Christ came that we may have zoe abundantly, so well focus on that eternal, zoe life in our spirit. Well feed and nourish this zoe life by eating and drinking Christ in His Word, spending time with Him in prayer, and experiencing Him day by day as our life. As we daily care for this life within us, the eternal life will increase and grow within us, expressing more and more of God in our living here on earth.
