Perfect Gift Giver

John 10:10 "The thief does not come but to steal, and to kill and to destroy. I have come that you may have life and that you may have it more abundantly."

The ruler of this world, Satan, desires to destroy us in any way possible; temptations, distractions, physical afflictions, but the Lord came to give us life and not just a mediocre life, but an abundant one. Here are some examples of the gifts the Lord offers us:

James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."

John 4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

2 Peter 1:2-4 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Psalm 16:7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
