Bible Study 11/6/2010 Promises to a Believer from the Bible

Presented by Matthew Landes
      Our interpretation in connection with the Definition of Abundant Life

1. John 10:10 -- Through Christ we gain that abundance, with out Christ we will lose that abundance if our trust and faith are placed in others.  Not necessarily riches, but our needs are fulfilled. 
2. Romans 6:23 -- In context with the definition of abundance; death is not the end for those who are saved, Gods abundance is eternal life.
3. John 3:16 -- Another way God provided us with his abundance was giving us his only son to teach us.  His ultimate sacrifice was to show us how much he loved us.  
4. Philippians 4:15-19 -- If you help others God will provide for your needs, but make sure your heart is focused on the desire to help and not on getting rewards from God. 
5. 1st Timothy 6:17 -- Worldly riches don't matter, but God provides riches as he sees fit, not always with money.
6. Proverbs 14:12 -- What seems right to man could lead to death.  Abundance is being able to see God's way and the reward is eternal life.

Overall we have noticed a reoccurring theme with these scriptures:

• Everlasting Life
• Worldly riches don't count
