This is something that most of our world needs to learn. How can we be content with what we have, not what those around us have? This seems to be what most of the world just can’t understand. Nations want things that other countries have, whether land or resources and covetousness is behind all of it.
Sin is defined in the Bible and most of us know when we commit a sin, regardless of our religion. How can our world recover from being sinful? By reading God’s Word and obeying it, that’s how.
Some people in the church wonder where they can get the joy spoken of in the Bible. If you are a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, you should have this joy already. The joy spoken of refers to your Savior and your salvation; if you are born-again, you were chosen to receive it. God chooses those who are called to be in His family through Jesus.
I know, I’m getting into “predestination”, but Jesus says that His sacrifice was ordained before the foundation of the world. God knew that mankind would need a Savior and that Jesus would be that Savior. No part of your day surprises God. History is part of His daily thoughts, from beginning to end. He knows what will happen and when, so there are no surprises for Him. Make sure of your eternal future by seeking Him today because the Church will be leaving someday soon and you don’t want to be left here when that happens, although many will be. I pray that all who read this will seek to know Jesus as their Savior.
