In Him was life….
— John 1:4a
I came that they might have life….
— John 10:10b
On one hand we can say that the life of God came into us. Yet on the other hand we must realize that when this life came into us, the Triune God Himself came into us. The life of God is inseparable from God Himself. God the Father came into us, God the Son came into us, and God the Spirit came into us. The Triune God came into us as the eternal life. Now God is no longer outside of us. The moment we believed in the Lord Jesus, the Triune God came into us. When we were born again, God came into us as life.
Adapted from Born Again, pages 15-16.

I love how these two verses, “in Him was life” and “I came that they might have life” together show that the Triune God Himself has come into us as life. Reminds me of John 14:23 “We will come to him and make our home with him.”
How amazing His word is.
In Him was life…
The Scripture does not say life was in Him, but in Him was life.
That reveals to us that He is in fact the life every self.
