We commonly refer to John 10:10 when we talk about abundant life.
John 10:10 (NIV)
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
In the context of “Through the Knowledge of HIM”, this verse tells us two things.
· The purpose of the thief.
· The purpose of Jesus Christ.
However, the question remains? How can you experience the more abundant life? If indeed His coming is the access through which we have abundant life; it therefore means when we understand the purpose of “His coming” we can then enjoy abundant life. Amen.
Through the knowledge of the Word, we are given details of the reason for His coming. Several scriptures tells us about His coming. Let’s examine a few below.
John 3:16 (NIV)
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Emphasis Mine
John 3:17 (NIV)
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Emphasis Mine
Experiencing an abundance of peace and grace is part of the abundant life according to 2 Peter1:2 (NIV).
Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Emphasis Mine
This is only possible, through the knowledge of HIM (God and Jesus our LORD).
