What makes us live?

What makes us live?

• A. The Spirit gives life
• B. Wealth gives life
• C. The commandments give life
• D. The rituals give life

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that life comes from the Spirit. Scripture emphasizes that true life—spiritual renewal and the power to live in harmony with God—comes from God’s Spirit at work in us. The Spirit gives life in whatever it touches, renewing the heart and empowering us to walk in God’s ways. Wealth cannot grant this kind of life; it might sustain the body but doesn’t bring spiritual vitality or renewal. The commandments reveal what pleases God and guide righteous living, but they don’t by themselves transform a person or impart life. Rituals are outward actions that can honor God, yet without the Spirit they lack the power to create true life within. So, the Spirit gives life, the source of genuine living beyond outward acts or material means.
