When I said, "I have come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly," I was giving a kingdom principle. The abundance that I supply is in measure to the abundance that you supply others. It is more blessed to give than it is to receive. Giving is living the abundant life. Have you ever seen a happy and blessed person who refuses to give to others who are in need? Selfish people are unhappy people. It was My Father's greatest joy to give Me to provide a perfect sacrifice that would enable all those who believe in Me to receive eternal life and rightstanding with Him.
It is true that life is in the blood and I gave My life's blood for your sake. Your forgiveness was purchased with something more precious than gold. It was purchased with My very life. I laid down My life to give you life and now you are called to do the same for others. Are you willing to lay down your plans, your pleasures, and your possessions to help another in need? When you are willing to give freely to others, you will experience the same joy that I experienced when I freely gave you all.
