Yahshua not only has life in Himself, but He gives life to others.

John 4:14
“Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give
him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

Observe now how Elohim created man to share His life giving nature. In Adam’s original state
before his fall, he knew no death. Adam would not have known decay, corruption, or
diminishment of his powers if he had not sinned. Man was alive, and in him there was no death
at work. Furthermore, God created man to contain seed by which he might produce more life
after his own kind. The first commandment Yahweh gave to the man and woman related to the
spread, or dissemination, of life.

Genesis 1:27-28
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female
created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful, and multiply...”

In the first chapter of Genesis we find a brief overview of the creation of the earth, culminating in
the creation of man on the sixth day. We are told that God created man “male and female.” This
is all the detail provided in chapter one. Yet, in chapter two, we are given additional information
that we might understand more accurately the relationship between the man and the woman.

Genesis 2:7, 15, 18-24
And Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath
of life; and man became a living being... Then Yahweh God took the man and put him in the
garden of Eden to tend and keep it... And Yahweh God said, "It is not good that man should be
alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." Out of the ground Yahweh God formed
every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would
call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave
names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was
not found a helper suitable for him. And Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and
he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which
Yahweh God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And
Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man." Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be
joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
