A final summary
1. What we find, then, is that "the abundant life" can become a self- perpetuating cycle!
a. For if we are willing to "know Alohim" (by giving Him our minds as read His Word and pray)...
b. ...then we will "love Alohim" (and give Him our hearts as we learn of His love for us)
c. Loving Ahaiah we will then "obey Ahaiah" (and in so doing, give Him our wills since we are motivated by love)
d. Obeying Ahaiah, we will "abide in Him" (and thus benefit from His strength)
e. Abiding in Him and benefiting by His strength, we will "bear
fruit" (and thereby enjoy the blessings found in the very act of doing so)
-- And through the experience of bearing fruit and walking with Ahaiah,
our knowledge of Him will increase, and the cycle starts all over again!
2. We must expose ourselves to "the abundant life" that Ahaishua offers.
a. Know Ahaiah by reading His Word
b. Coming to know Ahaiah is the most important thing we can do in life
- Jeremiah 9:23-24 Thus saith Ahaiah, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
[24] But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am Ahaiah which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith Ahaiah.
1) To know Ahaiah is to love Him
2) To love Ahaiah is to obey Him
3) To obey Ahaiah is to abide in Him
4) To abide in Ahaiah is to bear fruit for Him
5) To bear fruit is to experience "the abundant life" the Vine offers to His branches.
