All sane humans in every place and every time of history including our own have desired the same condition of life, one of pervasive and persistent love, peace, and joy. Jesus Himself spoke of this condition and described it in terms of "having life abundantly." Attaining such a life requires the work of the Holy Spirit in us and upon us but we do have a part to play in that work of His. Our part is to identify the nature of reality and to the best of our ability to act consistently with it beginning with the supreme of all realities, the perfect and infinite God. Identifying His nature is so foundational to abundant life that after apprenticing ourselves to Jesus, it's the first action we should take in attaining it. We take this action as a practical matter by building a purposeful, objective, and thorough vision of God. We learn all the revealed attributes of His we can and descend into the details of each one, a process that develops our vision of Him until eventually it's 20/20. Our fuzzy perception of Him becomes a clear one that strongly directs us to routinely think, feel, act, and react with love, peace, and joy in our day-to-day lives. It's here that 20/20 Vision comes into play by assisting us to see God clearly as He is. Its descent into the details of His attributes revealed, explained, and applied causes His utter loveliness (goodness) and utter competence (greatness) to jump off the pages. The intended result is that its readers will be gripped and even ravished by a vision of Him that cultivates and supports the abundance of life they desire and pursue.
