The path to abundant life is not an easy one. That is because is order for us to experience the fullness of God’s love and grace through Jesus, something in us must die away. Perhaps it is ego, or fear, or something else. But we must learn to let go of self in order to be taken up by the grace of God. Some people will be uncomfortable with this challenge. God’s grace will be theirs forever, whether they choose abundant life, or not.
