THE ABUNDANT LIFE
Jesus said, “I am come that men might have life,
And that they might have it more abundantly”. (John 10:10)
His teachings are useful instructions
To help us live our life more abundantly.
Four programs promote the abundant life:
One is work to supply necessities,
Done in ways that develop good character,
Personality, knowledge and abilities.
A second is marriage and family life,
Where parents and children feel togetherness
And husband and wife united by love
Share love with their children for happiness.
Teaching children by precept and example
All the things that they need to know
And living their lives vicariously
Through all their experiences as they grow,
Providing home, food and clothing, protecting their health,
And social, emotional, and financial needs,
And church and community obligations
Make abundant the life each parent leads.
A third program of giving service to others
Improves qualities of character and personality,
Provides wide variety of experiences
And increases your knowledge and ability.
The fourth program : Support God’s church and its purposes.
Learn of God and His many blessings for you.
Enjoy the associations and activities.
Make friends and enjoy all the things that you do.
