The great abundance that is in Christ should be a cause of continual thanksgiving.
The title of this blog is “Abundant Life Now.” The God who created everything (Colossians 1:16) and maintains everything (Colossians 1:17) never lacks in abundance. The earth and all that is contained in it belongs to Him (1 Corinthians 10:26-28). We will look at a few of the things which Scripture specifically says are available in “abundance.”
God offers abundant mercy (1 Peter 1:3) and abundant grace (1 Timothy 1:14). Mercy is not getting something negative that is deserved. Grace is getting something positive which is not deserved. (Justice is getting that which is deserved.)
Abundant mercy and abundant grace are available because of abundant pardon (Isaiah 55:7) to those who accept it. Beyond abundant pardon, our God offers abundant life (John 10:10).
Those who have received the abundance mentioned above are eligible for abundant joy (Philippians 1:26) and abundant peace (Psalm 37:11).
All this abundance is due to the abundant power of the omnipotent—all powerful—God (Ephesians 3:20).
Jesus said, “I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)” (John 10:10 Amp).
