Because He Came 2021 - Abundance

Have you ever considered how might things have been different if He'd never came?

 

BECAUSE HE CAME ... I HAVE AN ABUNDANT LIFE.

In 2012, I focused on this version of John 10:10 -

John 10:10 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.

But now in 2021, I want to share The Passion Translation of the same verse:

John 10:10 The Passion Translation (TPT)

A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow! 

An abundance until you overflow!

This does not necessarily mean physical abundance,although sometimes God sees fit to bless in this manner. It means you have abundant life in the things that matter: love, peace, joy and the calm assurance of knowing that you are never alone.  He walks with you in good times and bad.

Why would you want to live any other way?
