true abundance

Christians are given an abundant life at the moment of salvation - when we begin to live life in oneness with and submission to His Spirit. However, that life is "abundant" from a heavenly perspective, not an earthly perspective.

We could be rich Christians, prestigious Christians, and powerful Christians, but those characteristics are meant to be used for the glory of God: they are not what Jesus was referring to when He promised us an abundant life.

Since abundant life is eternal life, it is a life in a loving relationship with God.

1 John 5:12 "Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God's Son does not have life."

Philippians 4:12-13 "I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength."
