John 10:10 Ephesians 1:18

4.ILLUMINATION
Matthew 5:14
The abundant life is a life which shines as a light in this dark world. It is a life which is an example for people to follow. It is a life through which people can find the way to God and be delivered from the darkness in their life. This is the life that Jesus came to give us.
5.INFLUENCE
Matthew 5:13
The abundant life is a life which is a positive influence in this world. Like a salt it enriches the place wherever it is placed. A salt without savour has no influence. similarly a person without a good testimony has no influence.God wants us to impact the place where we are whether at home or at work or among friends and relatives.This is the life that Jesus came to give us.

John 8:32 John 16:13
The abundant life is a life which is well instructed in the truths of God. It is a life which is aware of the commandments and the promises of God. It is not a life of ignorance and confusion.God wants us to know the truth which will set us free. This is the life that Jesus came to give us.
7.ITINERY
Psalms 32:8 Philippians 3:12-14 I Corinthians 9 :24-26
The abundant life is a life which has a plan and a direction. It is not an aimless life without any purpose. The apostle Paul lived with a goal in his life which he was striving to attain.God wants us to life our life according to His plan and purpose.We must life our life with God’s guidance and direction.This is the life that Jesus came to give us.
