Title [6.5] Let's live really happily
let's see the contents
(Romans 5:1-11)
What is the biggest difference between Buddhism, Confucianism and Christianity? If we express them as a house, Buddhism can be expressed as a collection of portraits that are free of life, Confucianism as a house of ancestral rites, and Christianity as a feast filled with joy.
How does God want His saved people to live? God wants us to be happy and happy. In other words, it is God's will for us to live really joyfully and happily. However, there are many happy and happy days in life, but there are also many not. There are many things that want to destroy my happiness. So what is happiness? Happiness is to enjoy Jesus Christ through faith. Not to own and have, happiness is already given to us.
The other day, I met a middle-aged man on a plane to another country. The man held his stomach uncomfortably from the moment he got on the plane until he got off. I thought it was because I was not feeling well, so I talked to him, and after talking about it, the middle-aged man told me that he was wearing a belly band. So I was told that I had no choice but to hold onto my stomach because I was anxious. The more you have, the happier you should be, but the more anxious and thirsty you are in life. Many people are deceived by these things. They wander in pursuit of these mirages. But I hope you can remember. Happiness does not come from possessions.
So where does happiness come from? Life requires a good house, food, and clothes. But it is given after I become a happy person. Happiness is a matter of our relationship with God. It is not true joy until you find joy in God. A son was playing with a slingshot and shot a goose in his yard to death. The terrified son has not had a single day at ease since then. The servant who witnessed this used this as an excuse to have his son work for him. The son, unable to bear it any longer, pleads with his father for his wrongdoing in tears. The father forgave him, saying that the son is more precious than the goose. The son was proud. About the father, and about his servant. When the problem of sin was solved, he became free. In this way, after the obstacles that stood in the way between God and me were removed and a right relationship was established, I became full of joy and freedom.
Verse 1 of the text says that we have found peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. “Let’s enjoy peace” means “Let’s enjoy peace,” and the word “rejoice” appears repeatedly. Hopefully, I believe in Jesus and rejoice that Jesus is in me. Believe that success does not bring joy, but that living a happy life brings success.
If you believe in Jesus, this place where I live now becomes heaven. There may be hardships and tribulations, but there are bonuses for believers. I did not know at all when there were no difficulties, but I can see how much God loves me in the midst of difficulties.
There is a point in time when suffering ends. So you can be happy. Even those who came with a hard heart, I hope you will find joy in the Word and die.
