According to Luke's Jesus, the abundant life does not consist in the abundance of possessions

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 [περισσὸν].

-- John 10:10

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance [περισσεύειν] of the things which he possesseth.

-- Luke 12:15
