Title: Lonely deeds (1 Peter 03:14)
Content: We are born into this world, we live for a certain period of time, and then we die. From birth to death, we live through many ups and downs. what is real life
Where there is no righteousness, there can be no true happiness. Even if there is a resonance of wealth and wealth and the environment is in full bloom, we cannot be happy without righteousness there. We can see this well through the life of Adam and Eve.
If the environment is the condition for happiness, no one has lived in a good environment like Adam and Eve. God created Eden in the East and filled it with fruits that were beautiful to look at and good to eat, and there was no damage or harm to it. However, when it comes to whether Adam and Eve, who lived in such an environment, were happy all the time, it was not. When covetousness entered the hearts of Adam and Eve, they sinned against God. Then, even in such a good environment, they struggled with the shame of their nakedness. They wandered around the Garden of Eden in search of a place to hide. We can see here that happiness does not come from circumstances.
Happiness is something that springs up like a spring in your heart when you are accompanied by righteousness. Where there is no righteousness, there is absolutely no happiness. Where there is no righteousness, there may be momentary pleasures, but the sorrows and sorrows that follow it outweigh the momentary pleasures.
But here is the good news. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." God sent His Son, Jesus, to this earth for us who are sinful, unrighteous, ugly, and who deserve to be abandoned. And he forgave all sins by having him die on the cross.
Those who live with thanksgiving in God's love can enjoy true happiness through the blood of Jesus on the cross, whose sins are all cleansed from their lives, receive righteousness as a gift, and enjoy the glory of God in Jesus Christ. We must keep in mind that money, position, fame, power, or worldly pleasures without righteousness will never bring happiness.
Prayer: We thank God for the forgiveness of our sins. May we live in gratitude and always be grateful for the joy of being saved through faith and having our sins forgiven. Not only that, but help me to live like a saint by pursuing godly and holy deeds. Make the nation and society righteous, and make the family happy. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
