4. How does having God in our lives make our joy full?
Having God in our lives make our joy full because God asks us to, "5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; (Proverbs 3:5). When we trust in the Lord with all our hearts, it brings us joy. Trusting in the Lord makes our joy full because we do not have to rely on ourselves and we are sure that when we trust in the Lord whole heartedly, we will be free and full of joy. In the book of John, Jesus says, "10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." When we accept Jesus Christ as our savior and our God, we are promised to have life and have life abundantly. God wants us to live a full life of abundance.

Question: When Jesus says that has come that we may have life and have life abundantly, does this refer to eternal life (in heaven) through acceptance of Jesus Christ? What is the connection between living an abundant earthly life and eternal life?

To answer your question... In John 10 Jesus is making a shepherd analogy. In fact the previous verse he talks about pastures. This is very reminiscent on Psalm 23. There it mentions the good life of the sheep in green pastures. But eventually the sheep leaves the pastures and eventually lives in the house. So the sheep is able to enjoy life now and then later. We can have the abundant life now and then eventually when we live in the house of the Lord we will have the full abundant life.
