Jesus
offers abundant life for earth, and abundant life for eternity. This
is the reason He came. To give His life for us! To give us life
instead of death! To give us victory instead of defeat! To speak
peace instead of turmoil! To bring rest in the midst of the storms of
life! To use us for His glory! Jesus Christ came so that we may know
overflowing life in Him, and produce an abundant harvest of faith not
only in our lives, but in those of others. He sacrificed all He was
for all the ugliness that we are. In His gift to us He becomes the
vine that empowers. We are the branches. When the life of the vine
flows into ours, we bring forth new growth! We flourish in His
presence. Our being becomes one with His.
Being
one with Him yields abundant fruit in your life! He is Love. Joy.
Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and
Self-Control (Galatians 5:22-23). He is everything you cannot be
alone. When you are one with Him, you lack nothing. His life flowing
through your veins is all you need. Abide in Him, and look to Him,
the author of your faith. “I am the Vine,” He says, “you are
the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant)
fruit” (John 15:5a, AMP). It is only in Christ that you can have
the greatest love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. It is only through Him
that your life produces an abundant harvest. You must abide in Him,
and allow Him to discipline and prune your life to bring forth His
true worth. It is only then you will discover an overflowing and
fulfilled life.
