abundantly in our Bible.

- exceeding abundantly, supremely
- something further, more, much more than all, more plainly
- superior, extraordinary, surpassing, uncommon
- pre-eminence, superiority, advantage, more eminent, more remarkable, more excellent.

This is what I am working toward here in the desert and this is what God has in store for mankind with eternal life. Sounds too good to be true - but then again, so does a living savior (or growing food crops in the desert). Through faith I welcome the opportunity.
Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Adam's failure brought a living death to all mankind, but Jesus having lived a perfect life was subjected to a living death (Matthew 27:46) so that all mankind may have the chance for eternal life.
