The biblical concept of "Quality of Life" is deeply rooted in the Christian faith, emphasizing the importance of living a life that honors God and cultivates a sense of well-being and purpose. According to Psalms 23:1, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing," suggesting that a life surrendered to God is one of abundance and fulfillment. In Romans 8:28, the Apostle Paul writes that "all things work together for good to them that love God," implying that even in the midst of challenges, a believer's quality of life can be characterized by hope, joy, and trust in God's sovereignty, as also echoed in Jeremiah 29:11, which promises that God has plans to "prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
