Living the Abundant Life
Faith & Finance with Rob West
Jesus said, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” But he wasn’t talking about money. Say the words “abundant life,” and some people might think you mean material blessings. Today, we’ll explain why Jesus meant much, much more.

Show Notes
THE WORLD'S MESSAGE VS. JESUS' CALL:
- The world encourages material accumulation and personal success for happiness, but this stands in contrast with Jesus' call to follow Him for abundant life.
- Material success is fleeting and ultimately insignificant in the light of eternity, and while happiness is ambiguous, abundance as promised by Jesus is desirable and everlasting.
THE CONCEPT OF ABUNDANCE:
- The Old Testament presents abundance in material terms, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:11 and Psalm 31:19, with the caveat that it required faithfulness to God.
