The Abundant Life

I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
(John 10:10 – ESV)

The Gospel is not about a better life, it is about eternal life.

Because

Jesus does not offer you a better life, He offers you eternal life.

Therefore

Witnessing shouldn’t be about a better life, it should be about eternal life.

And remember

The abundant life Jesus is speaking of in John 10:10 is not about a life of material abundance, it is about spiritual abundance (John 7:37-39) and a life eternal (John 10:28).

Eternal life with Jesus Christ is so much more valuable than material abundance now. Lead on oh King Eternal!

When it is laid out that way it just makes so much sense.

What do you mean, no material abundance? I want the salvation with the economic stimulus plan....
