Enjoy This Life More Abundantly

Jesus said "... I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."  John 10:10 (KJV)

These words of Jesus, The Christ, were recorded by the Apostle John, the disciple who referred to himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved.  Jesus spoke these words to the Pharisees, and to the crowd of Jews who had gathered around Him and His disciples, after He had told them that He was the door.  He said that He was the door to salvation. (John 10:9)  Jesus said that He did not come to kill or destroy, He came that men might have life, and have it more abundantly.

Jesus, The Christ, is the only door to salvation.  He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. (John 14:6)  He came to earth to give us life, eternal life, not to kill and destroy.  The moment that we accept  Christ as our personal savior, He gives us the gift of eternal life. (John 3:16 and Ephesians 2:8-9)  The more that we turn our lives over to The Holy Spirit, and follow His guidance and direction, the more fully we will enjoy this life. (1 Timothy 6:17)  We will enjoy eternal life later on, and we will enjoy this life more abundantly.
