“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly,” Jesus.  (John 10:10)

There are two planes or levels of living the godly life. In a plane you ascend to another level.  God has bought every Christian a First-Class Ticket to heaven, paid for by Jesus’ blood. Most chose to travel in Coach.

In John 10:10 Jesus is telling us why He came from heaven to earth. He didn’t say He came to judge the wicked, although He could have come to do that. He didn’t say He came to condemn, although He could have. He didn’t come just to teach or perform miracles. He came for two reasons. There are two things here: life and abundant life. He came that we might live and that we might have fullness of life. You can live without having fulness of life. As the song says, “I’m trading my sorrow for the joy of the Lord.” Sorrow is one level but joy is another level.

“They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues.” 
(Acts 2:4)

This is the second chapter in a row on speaking in unlearned languages. Tongues are so controversial, why preach on tongues at all? Because it’s in the Bible, and that’s all the justification needed. Second Timothy 3:16 says, “All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable…” Tongues are in the Scripture and therefore they are inspired by God and therefore profitable. Why would we neglect part of Scripture when all of Scripture is inspired and is profitable? What the Bible says about tongues is inspired by God. Why would you want to not learn about something God gave us that He Himself declares profitable for us? God only gives good gifts, and He gives them for our own good.

If the gifts of the Spirit passed away, then whole sections of the New Testament cannot possibly be profitable. Might as well tear them out of your Bible! What would be profitable for us to study the rest of the book of Acts and 1Cor.12-14 if those passages are no longer profitable?

Besides all that, in 1 Cor.12:1 God tells us that He does not want us to be ignorant of spiritual gifts. If there is a major flaw in the modern American church, it is its ignorance of the gifts of the Spirit. If you ask the typical 100 people what their spiritual gift is, 99 of them would tell you they have no clue. That in spite of the fact that God has told us He doesn’t want us ignorant of spiritual gifts! Then 1Cor.14:1 says, “Desire spiritual gifts.” We are supposed to want to have and use the gifts God has given to us. Desire is a very expressive Greek word. Some translate it, “Earnestly desire spiritual gifts.” Go after them! You will never desire something you think will not profit you. You will never have something you do not honor. “He who honors Me, I will honor.”
