Think Backward.
Think back from forever.
The end game of the Christian life is forever.
Now,
start heading back to our lives here.
It rises up easily into the face of the eternal, of glory, of grace.
The Gospel makes eternal changes in the heart, mind, spirit of people NOW.
Life is "as we know it".
But.....The life Jesus is bringing in his Kingdom is....
Abundant
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10
"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. 30"For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matt 11:29-30
"He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'" John 7:38
Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; 14but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." John 4:14
"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Isaiah 55:1
"For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. 7There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this." Isaiah 9:6-7
The riches of his glory and love are manifest in Christ to us and through us forever. The Father has lavished his love on us, calling us children of God through faith in Christ. I John 3:1 Grace overwhelms sin in abundance. The goodness of God triumph over every evil.
Boundless
"Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, 9and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things." Ephesians 3:8-9
"To all perfection I see a limit, but your commands are boundless."
Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.' Jer 33:3
United Pursuit says,
"I used to think that I could box you in."
What an awesome and amazing day it is when we come to understand the unsearchable riches and knowledge of God are boundless. Equally so is the grace, love, and power of Christ Jesus. He is bringing a Kingdom that will swallow up all others. In fact he is presently the "King of the Kings of the Earth." Rev 1
A reality that most believers have no grid for interpreting and interacting with in the lives they live today. But a mind blowing reality of the Kingdom we are part of.
God is the original positive thinker. Nothing is impossible with him.
He makes axe heads float and raises dead people to life in their coffins!
If the slightest glimmer of his boundless glory enters into our minds or hearts we are transformed forever!
Knock the doors off your boxy god. Get your mind informed with the Mind of Christ and the boundless realities of his life in Jesus.
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! Rom 11:33

Victorious
2Ch 13:18
The Israelite's were subdued on that occasion, and the people of Judah were victorious because they relied on the LORD, the God of their ancestors.
Psa 20:6
Now this I know: The LORD gives victory to his anointed. He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand.
Zec 9:9
Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Rev 2:7
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
Rev 2:11
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death.
Rev 3:5
The one who is victorious
will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of
that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name
before my Father and his angels.
Rev 21:7
Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.
Is this the life you are living?
Through faith in Christ Jesus it is ours.
Catching glimpse of even a small part of it will radically change your life here and now.

Look forward with eyes filled with Abundance, Boundless, Victorious vision in Jesus.
