The Abundant Life
The promise land is a prophetic picture of what it means for a believer to live the abundant life in the New Testament. The abundant life is about experiencing what you believe about God and His Word for yourself. It is where you are actually experiencing your faith working in your everyday life. In John 10:10 Jesus says “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).” AMP
Notice that Jesus does not say that I came that they may believe to enjoy life, and believe to have it in abundance. Jesus says, “I came that they may have…” He came that we would experience life and the joy of life in abundance, to the fullest, and even until it overflows. Jesus wants us to have life and to enjoy our lives so much that it will overflow out of our lives and into the lives of people around us. He does not just want us to believe that we can have life and enjoy our lives. Jesus wants us to experience it for ourselves. It may be difficult for some religious people to understand that Jesus wants us to enjoy our lives, but that is what the Bible says is God’s plan for our lives!

This passage flaunts the non-believer who claims that Christians cannot have any fun. It is a powerful passage.
