Life is, when we die with Jesus, so we will live in Jesus. 
Scripture says, when we recieive Jesus, we die to flesh with Him, and Jesus places a part of His spirit in us.
It is in His Spirit placed in us, that we are born to eternal life, the true life we are called to.
That is why scripture says that the body becomes a temple, for it holds us in Jesus's spirit, within.
And just like babies, when born again in Jesus, we learn from Jesus, how to live in His Spirit.
First we drink milk, learn to walk, then He feeds us meat.
This is the life that is trully perfect, and fills us compleatly.
God bless

There is an expression - the painting has a life of it's own. When I was a child my mother gave me a small lump of coal. The fruit jar she provided was hers as was the bluing that I poured sparingly poured into the bottom of the fruit jar in which I had placed the coal. Well like a painting that comes to life when looked upon that lump of coal came to life and flowered into amazing crystals. This reminds me of how God created plants.
Genesis 2:5
and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
Genesis 1:11
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
As I understand it God created the plants and herbs of the field without life and then added the water and then commanded life of this type to begin. Of course it is pretty hard, or rather, impossible to figure out what life is to them. Same thing with animals. I asked my dog what is life, and although he is a pretty intelligent creature, he had no answer for me. I didn't think it was any use trying to explain to him how God created animals and the breath of life which scripture as I understand it is shared by God's creatures. By some definition plants, creatures and humans are alive, they exist much like the lump of coal my mother gave me. The lump of coal that reminds me of a few verses in John 10
[SUP]9 [/SUP]I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. [SUP]10 [/SUP]The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Proverbs 8:35 For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD.
Life is a testing ground or you might say the womb. We are all here and need to make a choice if we want to be born. God has revealed himself to us and now each of us from our heart not lip service must make a choice to know him. It is here and now that we learn to trust and serve the one true God. The Lord through his Holy Spirit is pulling on each of us but we must make the choice. When you love the Lord with all your heart and follow him you will find your life. Your life is hidden in the Messiah. If you want to really live surrender to his call and the life you live will never be the same, because for the first time in your " LIFE" you will be truly alive.
