The World of His Sheep or Church
Christ states that by His Death , meaning by it alone, He gives Life to the World, of course He means by that the world of His Sheep or His Body the Church, which He Loved and gave Himself for Eph 5:25
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
But what we shall see from scripture is that by giving His Life unto the World, He is actually giving life to the world He intends it for. Jn 6:33
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Now who can deny what is stated by Christ here ? He is giving [present active participle] life [spiritual] to the World [of His Church]
This is not an offer of life. The word giveth is δίδωμι
with the force of to cause, produce, give forth from oneself. He is the Author and Cause of it, for the Gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ !
Now lets read in the same Chapter Jn 6:48-51
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
Now what is the Bread that He shall give ? Its His Flesh or His Body, and how does He give it ? He gave it as a Sacrifice for sin 1 Pet 2:24 for the sins of His Sheep World, for He died on behalf of them, for the sake of them, so in turn they receive Life Jn 6:33
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
His Life given for them, gives them life out of Him or from Him; Now this cannot be denied, and so by this His Death alone communicates unto them Life, Eternal Life ! Jesus says it right here Jn 10:10-11,28
10 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.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 21
