HAPPY or JOYFUL??? Which is Better? Discover the Difference #Bible #Study #Truth #Short #shorts

Which do you seek, Happiness or Joy? You might find there is a big difference. Think about what will last and which will never run out. In short, Happiness is for a moment and more inclined towards the flesh, whereas Joy is eternal and a gift from the Holy Spirit. In Galatians We read of the 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. The word Happy or Happiness occurs 29 times in the bible, whereas Joy or joyful is found 201 times. Consider Jesus’ parable of the Talents where the servants are rewards for there good deeds in investing in the masters money…Mat 25:23 – His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
When we read God’s Word and rightly divide (2Tim2:15) you too will understand his plan for us. For we are in a very tumultuous day and age. The last days in fact. Consider if you have not accepted Christ, I encourage you to do so, at your earliest. Know that as a #Christian, you have #dominion over the earth, fish, and all beasts of the earth, and know you cannot lose your salvation (Eph1:13). Accepting and believing in Christ’s life (ministry), death(atonement), and resurrection will result in your second birth and you will be born again #Spiritually, and YOU WILL BE SEALED with the #Holy #Spirit/#Ghost. Let not your heart be troubled and do not be dismayed, study the #bible and understand God’s #Word. The bible has an architecture that spans creation. Start with Jesus’ ministry to find that His ministry was towards the Jews. The Jews are betrothed to God the Father (Hos 2:1) Before Christ, and the Church Christians (Christ Like) are betrothed to the Son. The Trinity was not conceived until Christ’s birth, death, and resurrection. God is not the author of confusion (1Cor14:13).

We ALL will suffer the “Second Death” without Christ and are NOT excluded from the misery brought on from he that is in the world… Jesus says (Mat10:16) Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Jesus will come to take His bride, (the Church) soon… Then comes, according to the prophesy of Daniel and Revelation, THE GREAT TRIBULATION, also known as Jacob’s Trouble (Jer30:7)… It is comprised of 3 and 1/2 yrs of peace and conquering, then 3 and 1/2 yrs of God the Father pouring out his #wrath upon the earth against the #wicked.
