I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
John 10:10
Jesus came so that we can have life abundantly....
At the beginning of this verse it says, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy:" Thieves come creeping in trying to take what is not theirs, just as Satan tries to creep into our hearts and take what is not his.
Jesus is the security we have to keep what is ours, the abundant life that was promised to us.
Life abundantly sounds so far out of reach. However, Romans 5:17 says, "For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ." So our abundant life is within our reach, as long as we remember that Christ came that we may have life, and have it abundantly.
