The Best Life Possible
"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." - John 10:10
It’s easy to think that the Bible is just a list of rules meant to keep you from enjoying life. The world around you often paints a picture that living on your own terms is the path to happiness, while following God’s Word is just a way to miss out on all the fun. But this couldn’t be further from the truth.
The Bible isn’t here to ruin your fun, it’s here to lead you to the best life possible. God’s commands aren’t random or restrictive, they are rooted in His deep love for you. He knows what will truly satisfy your soul and what will leave you empty. When you live according to your own desires, you might find temporary pleasure, but it often leads to long-term consequences, leaving you feeling unfulfilled and searching for more.
God has a plan for your life that is far greater than anything you could design on your own. He sees the big picture, knows your deepest needs, and wants to lead you into a life that is not only full but overflowing with purpose, joy, and peace. When you choose to follow His plan, you are not missing out on life; you’re stepping into a life that’s richer and more rewarding than you could ever imagine.
Trusting God and being obedient to His Word doesn’t mean you’ll have a life without challenges, but it does mean that your life will be grounded in something unshakeable. You’ll experience a deeper sense of fulfillment, knowing that you are living the life God intended for you.
So, when you’re tempted to believe that following Christ means giving up fun or missing out on the best things in life, remember this: God’s plan for you is the best version of your life. There is no greater adventure, no deeper joy, and no more satisfying life than the one lived in obedience to Him.
