What Does The Bible Say About Say About Saving Someone's Life

Someone point me in the right direction...

That is a good question. I've saved a few lives thru CPR, helping a child that was choking & a few car accident victims.

Here you go.....

Jhn 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

I'm familiar with that passage, but what about saving someone's life without giving up your own, like my example of saving a drowning child.

Do unto another as you would have another do unto you/don't do to another what you would not they do unto you. (Matt. 7:12)

But if you are in the world but not of the world, (John 17:14-19, 18:36-37) you realize people have been held captive by their fear of physical death (Heb. 2:14-15) -- which, for such an enlightened person, is deliverance from this fallen, cursed, painful, lie-based existence. (Php. 1:21) So you probably wouldn't mind leaving it (dying), and might figure you're not doing another any favors by prolonging their suffering in this cursed body-world either. (Jude 23)

To truly save a person's "life" is to turn them from the error of their ways back to truth. (James 5:19-20; Lam. 3:40)

The real "life" worth living and therefore saving is that of the innermost being (Eph. 3:16) -- not necessarily its slower-vibrating material "house". Do not fear the one who can kill the body, but do no more. Instead fear the one who can cast the innermost soul into hell. (Luke 12:4-5; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6) This is the one to "save" or liberate from the powerful delusion caused by "for-profit" deception. (2 Thes. 2:10-12) Thus freeing it to "live" in or out of the material body according to the truth. (John 8:31-32)

And the corruption and deceptiveness of this world is so thorough, my friend, that to see things as they truly are all at once, rather than in doses, would literally blow our minds. (John 16:12-13; John 13:7, 14:28-29)
