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 (John
10:10).

Life
is a loan from God; see that it return
Him interest. ---Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) |
The
only way into eternal life is through faith in Jesus Christ as
personal Savior (John
3:15). But do not stop here; to have eternal life is great-but there is
more. Christ came that you might have life abundantly. All believers
have life, but not all have abundant life. You are living beneath
your privilege if you are a believer and not enjoying the abundant
life. For life to be abundant, it must have abundant resources, and
the only unlimited source of life is in the person Jesus Christ, the Son of God (John
14:6).
To possess this fuller life, the believer must abide in Him (John
15:1-5).
Dynamic, abundant living is not for just a few, it is God’s norm
for all believers. It is spiritual life in depth, and without it, the
Christian life becomes inane and meaningless.
If
you do not have abundant life within you, you will soon yield to the
carnal (fleshly) life around you (1
Cor. 3:1-4)
The carnal life is circumstance-controlled; the abundant life is Holy
Spirit-controlled. The carnal Christian life leads to defeat; the
abundant life leads to victory in Christ. Man seems to know
everything about life except how to live it abundantly. From this
moment on, determine not to be satisfied with anything less than
God’s best: living life abundantly.
