Life in abundance

As we try to perform a Christian Life, some of us will get the experience of Jeremiah 20.7-9: the heart is full of fire in favour of God but looking into the situation: there is violence and ruin (death). Speaking of God the answer is insult and derision. The experience is: I'm lost with my God, but I cannot let him go.
That's a gracious start.
Paulus (Rom 12.1-2) gives encouragement: think deeper and know your bodily life, your life-style is the real engagement to change the world, the situation. Your new mind (faith in God) is salvation lived as a real Christian Community.
And Jesus (Mt 16.21-27) explains: Yes, there is great sufferings - there is death, again and again; death every day. But in this death-situation you are challenged to rise up into new Life: resurrection.
The most believers understand the resurrection as follows: there is birth + life +
death + resurrection (like the final point of a long way). It looks like a linear mono-dimension. They see time only as a running stream and they try to swimm until the end (of their time). But that is not the whole reality - only it seems like. In Reality we have all the time "the present". We live in the presence. Only as we look back, we discover (and construct) "the past". As we look ahead, we discover (and construct) "the future". But the past as well as the future are different dimensions of the present. All happen in the present.
Likewise "death + resurrection" are facts in the present. And Jesus likes to pro-
claim: where is death there is also resurrection; every day ! We as humans, we are
not only nature, we are much more: Children of God; challenged into the fulness of Life. Living in the present there is the chance to die and to rise up. This higher human dimension is our vocation: to transzend the nature. The naturalism tells us: there is only one dimension: nature. But this is not the whole reality. In Reality there is nature + universe + spirit (God).
This is way Jesus told Peter "what you think is not God's way but man's." The human being may discover there is much more than only man's view. There is Grace and Life in abundance.
Therefore a follower of Jesus Christ renounces the man's view, the mono-dimension of life and discovers with Jesus Christ a new dimension of Life: the chances of the present. The reward will be Life in abundance (according to his/her behaviour / decision / life-style).
