“How much more shall your Father…give…to them that ask?” Matthew 7:11

Try to imagine the abundance God has prepared for you (see 1 Corinthians 2:9). Then decide that the language of your heart will be the “much more” of faith, not the “much less” of unbelief. Observe: (1) Your salvation supersedes your sin. No matter how sinful your history, “if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God…which is by…Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many” (Romans 5:15). Rejoice! You’re “much more” forgiven. (2) Christ’s life in you continuously saves you. If He lives in you, His salvation remains actively at work in you. “If, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life” (Romans 5:10). (3) The Holy Spirit will be in you abundantly. “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” (Luke 11:13). He gives the Spirit “much more” to His children. (4) You can triumph in life through Jesus. “Much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:17). By God’s grace, you can walk in “much more” victory. (5) All you need, He will provide. “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father…give good things to them that ask him?” (Matthew 7:11). As you develop a “much more” mentality, you will begin to enjoy the “good things” God provides.
