What is the abundant Life?

The dictionary defines the word abundant as meaning more than adequate, richly supplied, plentiful. Jesus said, "My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." (John 10:10). So the abundant life is one that is richly supplied with what we need, a life that is available because Jesus came to provide it. But perhaps we should talk about what the abundant life is not. It isn't necessarily a life of wealth, comfort, leisure, or freedom from pain. It's not the "good life" we hear about on TV. But it is a life of access to untold divine resources, the provision God has made for us to live whole, healthy and hopeful lives. We have everything we need to live the abundant life, the life we were created by God to enjoy. The secret to the abundant life is a close relationship with God as we follow the truths of Scripture. But unless we know and understand how God means for us to live, unless we dig deeply into his Word
