John 10:10 (New International Version) 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
life in all its fullness the hope of belivers
some people think If I give my life to Jesus thats the end of my life
he came to give us life in full
God is not done with you yet
he wants to find a joyful life
the title of this message is Wondeful Life
why was I born
Why did I have to be born? Was it just to suffer and die in shame?
a lot of people feel that way
there is movie with that name, one of the top 100 movies of all times
about a man name George Bailey, making a mess of his life
I am about to go to Jail for something he did not do
he was condisering killin him self
an angel named Clarence showed him what his life is all about
he got the chance to see what it would be like if he had never been born
why was I ever born?
God has a purpose and a plan
but you cannot have this apart from God
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is true worship.
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will
to live for God you must die to yourself
I do not want to harm you, I want you to be willing to lay down your life for me
the pattern of this world is to ignore God
make up your mind
use your brain he gives you a brain and expects you to use it
