Life More Abundantly

In John 10, Jesus said:

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

From the beginning, it was God’s desire that man walk in life more abundantly:

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

God’s will, his desire, for man has never changed. Provision has been secured through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus – all that remains is for a man to choose. David prays in Psalm 17:

Concerning the works of men, by the word of Your lips, I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer. Uphold my steps in Your paths, that my footsteps may not slip. I have called upon You, for You will hear me oh God; incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech. 

Show Your marvelous lovingkindess by Your right hand, oh You who save those who trust in You from those who rise up against them.

Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me under the shadow of Your wings. 

Your choice.
