Life
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
The devil wants to steal our souls that are rightfully God's. He wants to drag us down to eternal torment with him. That's what we deserve for our rebellion against God, but it's not why Jesus came.
If satan could cut our lives short, he would. Thankfully, we're invincible until God calls time on our earthly sojourns. The evil one is a creature with limited powers.
Our enemy wants to destroy us. Thankfully, he has no power to do so without God's say so. We must trust in the Lord to deliver us.
Abundant life doesn't necessarily mean a private jet. It could include an abundance of persecution, as well as our daily needs provided for. Jesus promises the persecuted that they're blessed, because great is their reward in heaven.
'Sovereign Father God, please give us life in Christ, and deliver us from the evil one we pray, in Jesus' name, amen'.
