Day 25: I Receive Abundant Life in Christ Jesus
Key Scriptures: John 10:10; Romans 6:23
Abundant life is God’s plan for His children. Many people equate abundance with material wealth, but Jesus redefines abundance as a life filled with divine purpose, joy, peace, and eternal security in Him. In John 10:10, Jesus contrasts His mission with that of the enemy:
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” – John 10:10 (NKJV)
The devil’s agenda is to rob us of our joy, peace, and eternal destiny, but Jesus offers life beyond mere existence—He gives abundant life. This abundance is not just for eternity; it begins now, transforming our present life as well.
Understanding Abundant Life in Christ
- Abundant Life is a Gift from God
- Romans 6:23 declares:
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Sin leads to spiritual death, but Jesus offers eternal life as a free gift. This gift is not earned but received by faith in Him (Ephesians 2:8-9).
- Abundant life begins with salvation and continues as we grow in Christ.
- Romans 6:23 declares:
- Abundant Life is a Life of Freedom
- Through Jesus, we are free from sin’s power (Romans 8:2).
- Many live in bondage to fear, guilt, and condemnation, but in Christ, we have freedom and victory (John 8:36).
- Abundant Life is a Life of Peace and Joy
- In the world, people seek fulfilment in money, relationships, or achievements, yet remain empty.
- True peace comes from Jesus: “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you” (John 14:27).
- Joy is part of abundant life: “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full” (John 15:11).
- Abundant Life is a Life of Purpose
- God has a plan for every believer (Jeremiah 29:11).
- When we live in Christ, we walk in divine purpose, fulfilling the good works God has prepared for us (Ephesians 2:10).
- Abundant Life is a Life of Provision
- God supplies all our needs (Philippians 4:19).
- While abundance is not defined by wealth, God ensures that His children lack no good thing (Psalm 34:10).
How to Receive and Walk in Abundant Life
- Believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour (John 3:16).
- Renew Your Mind with God’s Word (Romans 12:2).
- Walk in Obedience to God’s Commands (Deuteronomy 28:1-2).
- Stay Connected to Christ (John 15:5).
- Be Led by the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16).
Conclusion
Jesus did not come just to improve our lives—He came to give us a new life filled with abundance. This life is not measured by material wealth but by our relationship with God, peace in our hearts, and the fulfilment of His purpose. As you fast and pray today, declare that you have received abundant life in Christ, and live in that reality daily!
