An abundant life isn’t one defeated by constant struggles with sin or burdened with an impossible list of do’s and don’ts. Rather, it is a life where Jesus lives in us, enabling us to abide in Him and to walk victoriously and free. As we experience and reflect the Lord’s love, gentleness, and kindness, those compelling qualities overflow and bless others.

How far does God go to keep His promises? All the way to the cross ... and beyond. As believers we are now inheritors of those promises. As we study the ways of our Father and partner in covenant, we marvel at the vast evidence of His unending faithfulness, and learn to trust Him more.

Why is it that some people perceive the Christian life as an exciting journey and others see it as a burdensome, unfulfilling existence? Although there are many factors that contribute to how a person experiences their relationship with God, many times an inadequate view of Christ will prevent a person from enjoying the abundant life He offers.   In this message, Dr. Stanley explains what a privilege it is to have Christ as our mediator and advocate and how His role as our High Priest is meant to set us free so we can enjoy an intimate and fruitful relationship with God.

In the very first chapter of the Bible we find God separating light from darkness. After that, we see a pattern throughout Scripture where He identifies darkness as evil, and associates light with good things such as holiness and truth.

About Dr. Charles Stanley

Dr. Charles Stanley

September 25, 1932 – April 18, 2023

Dr. Charles F. Stanley was the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Atlanta for more than fifty years. He was also the founder of In Touch Ministries and a New York Times best-selling author, who wrote more than seventy books encouraging people to seek Jesus as their Savior and know Him as their wise and loving Lord. 

Known to audiences around the world through his wide-reaching TV and radio broadcasts, Stanley modeled his 65 years of ministry after the apostle Paul’s message in Acts 20:24: “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God’s mighty kindness and love.”
