The abundant life is too often mistaken as satisfaction obtained through the enjoyment of material possessions. This is grossly untrue and neither should the abundant life ever be compared with anything that decays over time. Otherwise Jesus would not have said be content with the things that we have if the abundant life was found in things or possessions.
The abundant life is eternal and not subject to decay. The abundant life is the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus that has set us free from the law of sin and death. In Jesus is a water that springs up into eternal life and this water will replace your thirst for the things of this world, and this is the abundant life.
Do you want the abundant life? Then take a drink from Jesus - John 4:14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."
