474. The Lord Himself teaches us in John that He is life in Himself, and so life itself.
The Word was with God and the Word was God. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men, John 1:1, 4.
As the Father has life in Himself, so He granted to the Son to have life in Himself, John 5:26.
I am the way, truth and life, John 14:6.
He who follows me will have the light of life, John 8:12.
