Living in Abundance: The Cross Already Secured It

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

What if abundance was not something you had to reach for, but something you had to wake up to?

A whole generation of sons has been taught to pursue abundance as a destination. Pray more, give more, believe harder, and eventually it arrives. But Jesus did not describe abundance as a reward at the end of right behaviour. He described it as the very reason He came.

What does living in abundance actually mean?

In the Kingdom, abundance is not a number in your account. It is a state of being that flows from knowing who you are and whose you are. A son who is settled in the Father’s love does not experience life as a resource problem.

Specifically, living in abundance means carrying the reality of Heaven’s supply into every domain of your life. Indeed, health, relationships, creativity, finances — all of it falls under the same roof. The cross did not secure part of your life. It secured all of it.

Why did Jesus come to give you abundant life?

For instance, John 10:10 does not say Jesus came so you might have an easier life. It says He came so you might have life abundantly. Notably, that word — perissos — means beyond measure, over and above, more than is needed or expected.

Moreover, this was not a promise for a future state in Heaven. It was a declaration about what the New Covenant makes available now. The abundant life is not what you receive when you die. It is what you inherit the moment you are in Christ.

How does the finished work of the cross unlock living in abundance?

In fact, the cross did not open a door you now have to push through by effort. It tore the veil entirely. There is no longer a separation between you and the fullness of what the Father has. The work is finished. As a result, the inheritance is released.

Therefore, abundance is not unlocked by your performance. Rather, it is received through your union. The moment you understand that you are in Christ and Christ is in you, lack stops being your default and fullness becomes your inheritance.

Why does striving keep you from the abundance you already have?

However, striving is the posture of someone who does not believe the work is done. Living in abundance requires the opposite posture — trust, not effort. It is faith in His finished work rather than confidence in your own output. And striving is exhausting precisely because you are trying to produce what has already been provided.

In other words, rest is not the absence of action. It is the presence of trust. A son who rests in the finished work can act with extraordinary energy — not to earn the abundance, but as an expression of it. Nevertheless, the difference is not in the output. It is in the root.

How do you practically live from overflow, not lack?

To begin, change the question. Instead of asking what you lack, ask what you have already been given. Similarly, rather than praying for more, begin acknowledging what is already present. Indeed, the shift from a lack mindset to an abundance mindset is not wishful thinking — it is a recalibration of your spiritual eyes.

Consequently, when you begin to perceive from abundance, living in abundance stops being a concept and starts being your daily reality. Moreover, when sons act from the reality of what they carry, the earth responds. That is not a prosperity message. Indeed, it is the nature of sons governing in the Kingdom.

Want to experience living in abundance every day?
