What Is Abundant Life?
I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10 NKJV
The word abundantly in this scripture is loaded. In the original Greek text, the word abundantly is Perioss, and it means “exceedingly,” “very highly,” or “beyond measure.”
What a beautiful picture. This definition helps us to visualize a life that is complete – a life that gives you wholeness, not just money.
When we were stuck in our sins, we were limited. We were without God, and living a life we could only build from resources we could earn.
However, Jesus came to cleanse us from sin and give us a much bigger life: one with a greater purpose.
Your purpose will dictate the perfect amount of overflow for you and those God wants you to bless. If you sew into it, it will never be something you have to worry about.
Accepting Jesus as Savior means you can also feel free to depend on him for a fuller and meaningful existence.
I pray that you are excited about living a bigger life and that you are ready to welcome the overflow he has for you.
