Jesus declared that He came to give us life – but not just an ordinary life. He wants us to have life abundantly (Jn. 10:10). The Greek word for “abundantly” is amazing in its breadth, for according to Thayer’s Greek Lexicon, it means “over and above, more than is necessary, super-added, exceedingly, beyond measure, superior, surpassing, remarkable, uncommon, extraordinary!” Jesus came to give you an extraordinary life! You know that Jesus has promised you a home in heaven when you die, and that is a fantastic assurance for us. But He has promised that those who believe in Him haveeverlasting life – starting the moment that they believe. God wants to give you not only a glorious eternity with Him but a superior, uncommon, remarkable, extraordinary life here on earth! The center and foundation of this new life is the presence of the Holy Spirit within you, making you into a new creation with a divine nature that lives in dependence on and obedience to Him. No longer do you live for yourself but you have such a close relationship with the Lord that you see and hear what He is doing and you follow His initiative. He gives you the power to overcome sin and become a light to the world around you by expressing His great love to all you meet, just like Jesus did when He walked the earth. This course will show you many of the incredible promises the Lord has made to His children, and will teach you how to rely on the Holy Spirit to accomplish all He wants to in you and through you. It doesn’t matter if you are a brand new believer or if you have been following the Lord for many years – He always has more to show us and more exciting revelations to give to us.
