How would you describe the Abundant Life? Some would describe it from a financial perspective. Some would describe it from the perspective of power and influence. Some would describe it from the perspective of health and well-being. Jesus said that He came so that we might have life and have it abundantly. He made it clear that the only sure foundation for the Abundant Life is the good, sound theology of the Word of God, Holy Scripture, and a living faith relationship with Him.

How would you describe the Abundant Life? Some would describe it from a financial perspective. Some would describe it from the perspective of power and influence. Some would describe it from the perspective of health and well-being. Jesus said that He came so that we might have life and have it abundantly. He made it clear that the only sure foundation for the Abundant Life is the good, sound theology of the Word of God, Holy Scripture, and a living faith relationship with Him. And the more we know and live that Word, the deeper that relationship with Him, the more abundant life becomes. As the saying goes, "A Bible that is falling apart from use, usually belongs to a person who is not falling apart." Wise men of old considered theology to be the "queen of the sciences" because everything since creation, including creation itself, is founded upon good, sound theology. And that good, sound theology is the "order of creation" established by a transcendent, immanent, present, and personal God. It is through this good, sound theology of the "order of creation" that the Holy Spirit of God trains us in true and godly discernment, the ability to distinguish between the true and the false, the good and the bad, the temporal and the eternal, the earthly and the heavenly. I submit that just about every problem and disaster that individuals and nations experience stems from man's insistence on replacing God's "order of creation" with his own. It is my hope and prayer that the articles in this book contribute to the readers' understanding of the Abundant Life Jesus offers and will assist them in their journey toward a blessed life.
