"But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord, Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God"
We often approach Christianity from the perspective that we will have abundant life more than we can dream or think of. But we don't have a big enough picture of what that is to be. God says that life is to know God and the one whom He sent. And Paul said that we can know God's love more than all we can dream or think. The focus of abundant life in the scripture is not a life of material blessings or even of great ministry. The focus of the scripture is that God loves us.
