What do you think of when you hear this verse ?
[John 10:10 KJV] The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.
Jesus spoke this, it was a warning.
The thief = satan , darkness.
To steal what ? = Your faithfulness to Christ
To kill what ? = Your hope in Jesus Christ.
To destroy what ? = Your walk in Christ.
Jesus came that you may die to self & come alive in him , that you may have life & have it more abundantly.
Life appears at least 409 times in the KJV.
Here is a snapshot of what it is that darkness wants to kill , steal & destroy.
All these are personal to each one of us as we walk with Christ Jesus.

[John 12:25 KJV] He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
