And then, there is this:
John 10:10 (NASB) — “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."
To clarify, a detailed exposition of the literal meaning of the word "life" in this verse:
It's the Greek word, "Zoe". Here is the detailed definition from the original language: "life, of the absolute fullness, both essential and ethical, Which BELONGS TO GOD (caps added for emphisis),
and to Christ in Whom "The logos" put on human nature; life real and genuine, a life active and vigorous, devoted to God, BLESSED IN THE PORTION EVEN IN THIS WORLD OF THOSE WHO WOULD PUT THEIR TRUST IN CHRIST (caps added for emphasis),
but after the resurrection to be consummated by new accensions (among them a more perfect body), AND TO LAST FOREVER (caps added for emphasis).
The short version? "Zoe: The God kind of life."
Jesus said He came that we might have that kind of life, in this world, and the next. It's ours for the taking, and all we have to do is trust Him for it! I trust Him. I have that life, in abundance, to the full, until it overflows. Do you?
