Abundant Life

"Yes, I am the Gate. 
Those who come in by way of the Gate will
be saved and will go in and out and find green pastures.
The thief's purpose is to steal, kill and destroy.
My purpose is to give life in all its fullness."  -- Jesus
John 10: 9-10

If you are searching for new life for yourself or those you love,
give yourself joy by practicing your faith.  Live a true and committed
Christian life.  Give the Lord Jesus Christ complete possession of your life.
  He must reign in your mind, body and soul.
Those who turn to God and receive His Spirit are changed. 

"The Lord God says this, 'I shall pour clean water over you and you will be cleansed.
I shall give you a new heart, and put a new spirit in you; I shall remove the heart of
stone from your bodies and give you a heart of flesh instead.  I shall put my
spirit in you.  You shall be my people and I will be your God.'"
Ezekiel 36:22-28

Before He died, Jesus made a promise for all mankind; He promised that
 He would give His followers new life through the Holy Spirit.  This new life is for everyone who will turn to the Lord.   This is what the Word of God says:

"You must repent, and everyone of you must be baptized in the name of
Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of
the Holy Spirit.  The promise that was made is for you and your children, and for all
those who are far away, for all those whom the Lord our God will
call to Himself."
Acts 2:38-3

All mainline Christians who are baptized in The Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
receive the Holy Spirit and become new creations in Christ.  However, to experience
a new way of life which is more spiritual and happier than the old, one must
actively seek Him and His ways -- and put away old sinful desires.
God's Word urges you:

"You must give up your old way of life;  you must put aside your old self, which
gets corrupted by following illusory desires.  You minds must be renewed
by a spiritual revolution so that you can put on the new self that has been
created in God's way, in the goodness and holiness of the truth.
Ephesians  4:22-23

If you want to grow in the life of the Spirit,
you need to know what God teaches.
Sacred Scripture is the Word of God. 
We encourage you to prayerfully read God's words of life!
Meditate on them faithfully.  Let them sink into your soul.

"From the holy scriptures you can learn the wisdom that leads to salvation through
faith in Christ Jesus.  All scripture is inspired by God and can profitably be used for teaching, for refuting error, for guiding people's lives and teaching them to be holy."
II Timothy 3:15-17

The life of the Holy Spirit in you is like a flowing spring that will grow in you, as you continue to be obedient to God and nurture a life of holiness in the Holy Trinity.
  Jesus promises:

"Anyone who drinks the water that I shall give will never be thirsty again:
the water that I shall give will  turn into a spring inside him,
welling up to eternal life."
John 4:14
