THE ABUNDANT LIFE?

JOHN 10:10 NLT and KJV

THE ABUNDANT LIFE IS NOT FOUND IN ANY EXTERNAL STIMULANT

SO….. WHAT IS THE ABUNDANT LIFE?

THE ABUNDANT LIFE IS THE RESTORATION OF MAN’S CREATED NATURE AND BEING

CREATED IN THE NATURE OF GOD TO BE IN CONTINUOUS RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

MATTHEW 5:43-48

BE COMPLETE AND WHOLE AS YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS COMPLETE AND WHOLE

WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO MAKE US WHOLE, OR BRING US COMPLETENESS

EPHESIANS 4:30

GOD’S FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS NEVER CHANGE WHO HE IS!  HIS NATURE ALWAYS REMAINS THE SAME

WE WERE CREATED TO BE GIVERS, NOT TAKERS

WE ARE CREATED TO BE LIKE GOD IN NATURE, SO WE CAN BE IN A CONTINUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

GALATIANS 5:22-23

GOD DOESN’T TRY TO HAVE LOVE

1 JOHN 4: 8

1 THESSALONIANS 5:23-24

HOW WOULD OUR LIVES BE DIFFERENT IF OUR NATURE WAS LOVE, JOY, AND PEACE?

KEEPING THE ABUNDANT LIFE

1. PROTECT THE HEART AND KEEP IT CLEAN
2. BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
3. QUIT LOOKING AND BELIEVE AND RECEIVE THE GOD NATURE
4. BE A BLESSER, NOT A TAKER.
