Six Ways to Get a Life

“Get a life!” When you hear that, it’s usually a sarcastic put-down, but the truth is that all of us seek a full, satisfying life. We just don’t know how to get one. Even though we spend a majority of our time on earth trying to make a living, many of us never really get around to ever having a “life.”

In John 10:10, Jesus promised to bring us abundant, full life now! So how do we grab hold of that? How do we take ownership of this bountiful life that Jesus wants us to have? In this series from John 10-12, Stuart Briscoe identifies six ways to attain and live the fulfilling life God intended for us.

So what’s the purpose of an abundant life on earth? Why doesn’t Jesus just take us to heaven now, to enjoy life with Him there? Jesus said, “I have other sheep which are not of this sheep pen, I must bring them also.”
The word “commitment” is not high on many people’s preference list nowadays. Have you noticed? Commitment asks a lot from us—it asks that we rely on people and not just ourselves, it asks that we live in terms of relationships.
Do you know what it is to be known intimately? Sometimes the idea of intimacy can be uncomfortable in its vulnerability. But Scripture tells us that intimacy with God is something we should desire, that it’s something we should be seeking.
Our enemy, Satan wants to rob us of the eternal life that God promised us. In order to live in abundant life, we have to be aware of this threat and gain an understanding of the enemy’s strategies.
