He is our Life

I AM the door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I AM the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep. (Joh 10:9-11)

The only door to eternal and abundant life is Jesus Christ.  He willingly and humbly laid down His life for our sIns.  And we who have believed He is everything He says He is, and have received this 'free' gift, that is free to us because He paid it all; now have not just a future promise of life, but a new life in Christ which is eternal and abundant now.  We can either surrender to GOD on His terms and be free, with abundant joy; or we can allow the devil to steal our joy, kill our ministry, and destroy our relationships (especially the family.)  This is not what GOD wants for any of us.  Those of us who are in Christ must live, through the power of the Holy Spirit, lives that reflect His guidance, His love, and His life present in us.

And those without, who cannot understand or live the Christian life (for you do not have the Holy Spirit and the power of GOD within to do so) are urgently told that you must be born again.  In order for you to have an eternal and abundant life you must receive Jesus Christ by Faith.  Faith in Him and Faith in what He has said and done.  Not just 'fire insurance' for the afterlife, but a real and lasting relationship with GOD Himself.

I pray that you will respond to GOD and His Word today,

In Christ
