Abundant life
John 10:10 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.
Life is the condition of the existence of an individual, the capacity of growth, reproduction, functional activities and continual change towards death.
In spite of this, there is more to just life, there is more to live, there is more to be existing as an individual.
Abundant life in its term refers to life in its abounding fullness of joy and strength for spirit, soul and body.
Growing sometimes may add sorrow, challenges, pain, and trauma,
But in Christ, we are made to understand, that one is saved if he enters through Him as the door, but such person will also comprehend and enjoy the fullness for which life on earth was meant to be.
It is only in Christ that one understands, and also receives those blessings that enrich and enhance living.
His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of His who has called us to glory and virtue (2peter 1:3)
Some people only live to survive, get food to eat, have shelter, make money and become famous... But the abundant life in Christ added peace, joy, flourishing and above all eternal life.
Money may be seen as a means of survival, but there are several situations whereby money could not cure the sorrow of the heart
When we have abundant life in Christ Jesus, we have a life of confidence, knowing fully well we are on the right track in the journey of life. He provides continual guide into every steps we take thereby leading us to the expected end of fulfilment.
Also, Christ being the source of our abundant life gives us a life free from stress and anxiety, we have hope, faith and joy in God that, whatever we are going through in life, either pain, sorrow, economic instability, and challenges, God is able to take us out of it.
Only in Christ you can have abundant life. Accept His invitation today and have a life in abundance.
God bless you.
