“I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows] John 10:10 AMP.”
By this statement, Christ was announcing during His earthly ministry that the reason for His coming was more than what could be seen externally; His appearing was beyond miracles. He came to do something in us so that we may enjoy His life within, have it in abundance till it overflows to others in our spheres of influence.
Christ in you is the FULFILMENT of everything. Life is in Him. In Him, all things find their true meaning. The abundant life that He gives implies a superior quality of life where we are satisfied in our inner man by the understanding of the implication of Christ's salvific work. The fact that you are not experiencing the fullness of God’s life in you does not mean that you don't have it. This is the reason why Apostle Paul says that we should not be conformed, but transformed. TRANSFORMATION means that our mindset has to become attuned to the Truth that is the way that God sees.
God has OFFERED us His thoughts through the gospel and His life sanctifies us, but until our mind is renewed to this reality, He won't violate our FREE WILL to choose His flow of life on our behalf. God is love, and love isn't forced on us, it is enjoyed. The gospel is the power to therapeutically renew our minds and restore us to God’s original intent for us. When we intentionally open our minds to listen to the gospel and be disposed to it, we begin to EFFORTLESSLY espouse God’s thoughts and yield divine results. What is your motivation for hearing the gospel? Do you want to know more about the secret to an abundant life? Then, tune in to this latest podcast Episode with Dr. Annie Smith as she unveils how Christ brings to light life and immortality.
