Living a life of Peace and Joy

Holiness is not based on our knowledge. Holiness is based on Christ Jesus, His nature, His character, and the Holy Spirit living in us and changing us into the image of Christ, we need to surrender to Him instead of surrendering to the world.

We are more concerned about our happiness than we are our holiness!
​
We need to understand there is no happiness outside of the holiness found in Christ alone.

Once we understand this and surrender to Christ happiness, peace and joy are ours to keep, for these are only found in Christ.

Are you struggling to find happiness? Are you struggling to find peace and joy?

The key to finding these things and more is found in surrendering your life to Christ. It seems counter to our culture, and believe me it is, but when we do our lives change.

Are you ready to walk in victory?
Are you willing to follow Christ, to the end?
Are you ready to do your part and surrender all to God, and let Him complete in you what He has started?

God’s word says this:

“Therefore, with your minds ready for action, be sober-minded and set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance. But as the one who called you is holy, you also are to be holy in all your conduct; for it is written, Be holy, because I am holy.”1 Peter 1:13-16 CSB

“May grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. By these he has given us very great and precious promises, so that through them you may share in the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with godliness, godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being useless or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:2-8 CSB
