My dear brothers and sisters, of FaithLine: “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10a) Who is this thief? Jesus said, “All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers…” (John 10:8) Jesus is referring to THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS of His time who tried to steal the words of Christ, kill His influence and of course, destroy (kill) Jesus. Jesus did not come for selfish reasons. He comes to give, not to get. He comes that people may HAVE LIFE IN HIM that is meaningful, purposeful, joyful, and eternal. We receive this abundant life THE MOMENT WE ACCEPT HIM as our Savior.
“I have come that they MAY HAVE LIFE, and that they may have it MORE 1ABUNDANTLY.” (John 10:10b) 1perisson: exceedingly, very highly, beyond measure, more. A quantity so abundant as to be considerably MORE THAN WHAT ONE WOULD EXPECT OR ANTICIPATE.
GOD IS ABLE TO BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY, SO THAT IN ALL THINGS AT ALL TIMES, HAVING ALL THAT YOU NEED, YOU WILL ABOUND (prosper) IN EVERY GOOD WORK…(2 Corin. 9:8)
FaithLine, the bible says: “I have come that they MAY HAVE LIFE…”
