life more abundant

"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."GT
Next comes "Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"RR
Sounds like effort to me, "overcoming" - why can't we just have more abundance? In most walks of life, it is understood and accepted that you do not get something for nothing. But strangely, when it comes to God and His goodness, somehow we are just owed it on account of our profession!!
Science reveals to us that the only impediment to a life more abundant is a finite, material sense, a self apart from God or self-centeredness, that which denies spiritual sense in practice. Jesus has given us all we need to overcome this self in the Sermon on the Mount. And if we are actually striving to put it into practice, the path is joyous. Only when try to fake it does it become arduous.
