John 10:10…I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
I left out the first part of this verse intentionally because we all know the intentions of the enemy…..to steal, kill and to destroy. What about God’s intentions? What is the heart of God concerning us? I believe that it is essential for us to know and believe the heart of God toward us! He came so that me and you could have life, and not only life, but abundant life. Think about it, God looked down from heaven at all of us, dead in our sins, full of rebellion and wickedness, and decided to come and become one of us so that He could take the punishment and judgment of our sins, and give us the rewards and blessings of His righteousness……what a trade! Now you might say “I know that Jonathan”, but do you really understand what that says about the heart of God? It shows us that God loves us, not because of our ability to do good, but because He is love and we are His! His heart of love toward us has changed who we are, and will change how we live when we believe the truth about His love for us. Does God love you more today than He did yesterday? If that question causes you to pause and think, then you are still living in the first part of John 10:10…………let’s move on up to the faith that believes in His abundant life giving love for us. Amen
