When the topics of Happiness and strength are raised, many questions run through the mind of someone who doesn’t know Jesus Christ or whose faith is not rooted in Jesus Christ. How do I stay happy and strengthened? What is the source of Happiness and strength? Is it from God, wealth, or health?
It is pertinent to provide answers to a naive or ignorant mind. Everlasting Happiness and unwavering strength are from God, the creator of the Universe, and genuine Happiness and power are in his Son, Jesus Christ.
In as much as people look for Happiness and strength from other sources like sin, work, social media, money, hobbies, and so on, God is proven to be the most reliable source, while other sources are fleeting and transient.
Believers of God are at liberty to access God’s unending Happiness and strength. They should rejoice for the love of Christ in those dimensions. God has provided the right path of access through the Scriptures and the knowledge of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Through this perfect will, we can obtain Happiness and strength. This is a unique privilege, and the essence of this article is providing Bible Verses about finding true Happiness and getting lasting strength.
