JESUS PROMISES LIFE TO THE FULL



 “‘Therefore,’ Jesus said again, ‘Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.  I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out and find pasture.  The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.’”  John 10:7-10 (NIV)

A “LIFE TO THE FULL” IS A RESULT OF BEING CONNECTED TO JESUS

 “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.” John 15:4-6 (NIV)

Our connection with Jesus is what fuels the full life

BELIEVING & RECEIVING

“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12 (NIV)

 “I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” John 10:9-10 (NIV)
