Three kinds of happiness that the evangelist must find
Galatians 2:20 have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #411 There’s a Peace in My Heart (#473 in previous version) The heart of the evangelist was consistent throughout all ages. He loved the dying souls, endeared the Word, and confirmed answers from God every day in his life. Even though he was hungry and had no strength to live another day, he lived a meaningful life that pleased God. What are the three kinds of happiness that the evangelist must find and enjoy?
1. Find the happiness of discarding
The 7 Remnants° of the Bible were not concerned about their safety in the midst of suffering.They were not full of contempt even if they were falsely accused and sent to jail but concentrated on prayereven more. Even when all paths were blocked with crises of death, they praised God. The "happinessof discarding" is in boldly resolving and moving forward even if hardship and problems come. In other words, change your incorrect thoughts, actions, habits, and words into those that are Gospel-like if they are not for the Gospel.
2. Find a new kind of happiness
If the Holy Spirit is surely with me, He will guide me. However, because we fall into trials and do not receive guidance, a life of suffering continues. The bad thoughts or conflicts you have turn into scars after time. Before the scars become deeper, you must find "a new kind of happiness." Simply pray, "Please open the eyes of my heart so that I may see Your plans, and guide everything in my life--good events and bad events--according to Your plan."
3. Find the happiness of giving
What we need most is not physical thinking, selfish words, money, fame, or life''s necessities. With the power we possess, we can destroy the forces of darkness and curses. Jesus Christ died in our place, and changed our background of darkness to an identity of life. The "happiness of giving" is in saving those who are dying with my identity and relaying the blessings I have received to another person.
