The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). John 10:10

Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. The Greek Word that abundance was translated from is perissos, Strong’s 4053. Perissos means exceeding, over and above, more than necessary, supremely, extraordinary, surpassing, uncommon, more remarkable, and more excellent.

Jesus also came so that we could have faith. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith, Hebrews 12:2. Now because we have an abundant life through Jesus, we also now have abundant faith because of Jesus. So the Truth for us is that in Christ we have exceeding faith, more than necessary faith, supreme faith, surpassing and uncommon faith, and excellent faith. Through Christ our faith goes above and beyond what we need. Jesus is responsible for bringing this to pass to fulfill His role in causing us to have an abundant life. It is impossible to please our Father without faith, Hebrews 11:6, so to insure that never happens, Jesus causes us to have abundant faith.

The Truth is also that by Jesus’ stripes we are healed, 1 Peter 2:24. So in Christ we now have health in abundance. In Christ we should have extraordinary health, remarkable health, excellent health, and more than necessary health. Faith comes from hearing the Truth and the Truth sets us free.

Our Father also tells us that all of our needs are met by His riches and glory in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19. So the Truth is that all of our needs are supremely met, exceedingly met, remarkably met, excellently met, and provided for us with an abundance that is more than is necessary. Once again this is Jesus’ responsibility. He is our Shepherd, He is our Head, He is our Master, our Lord, and our Savior. Jesus owns us and He has been assigned the task of causing us to have everything in abundance. Whatever is required for us to serve the Kingdom is provided in abundance for us through Jesus. This is our peace that passes all understanding.
