How to achieve true happiness?

in steemchurch •  7 years ago 

Many people believe and think, that happiness in life is achieved through fame, wealth and luxury, even when it is demonstrated that these values lead to destruction, to the point that these people fall into the vice of alcohol, drugs, tobacco or cigarettes, prostitution and homosexuality.

We must not forget a biblical passage that says: Again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God (Matthew 19:24).

However, the Bible teaches us in a very clear and simple way how to achieve the true happiness we desire. Our God Jehovah left us this important tool, which was inspired by him and written by his faithful disciples led by the holy spirit. However, nowadays the people of the world consider it an old and obsolete book, but they ignore the many prophecies that are fulfilled and that were written thousands of years ago, among them we have the arrival of the messiah (Jesus).

Recall that once Satan tried to tempt Jesus by telling him to turn a stone into bread, after having spent forty days without eating in the desert, to which he replied: "It is written: Man should not live on bread alone. "(Luke 4: 3, 4).

In the same way, the Bible also records the different ways of achieving that happiness that we all want to achieve, as long as we put into practice the following biblical texts announced in the Gospel of Matthew:

(Matthew 5: 3) "Happy are those who are aware of their spiritual need, since to them belongs the kingdom of heaven.

(Matthew 5: 4) "Happy are those who lament, since they will be comforted.

(Matthew 5: 5) "Happy are those of mild genius, since they will inherit the earth.

(Matthew 5: 6) "Happy are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

(Matthew 5: 7) "Happy are the merciful, since they will be shown mercy.

(Matthew 5: 8) "Happy are the pure in heart, since they will see God.

(Matthew 5: 9) "Happy are the peacemakers, since they will be called 'sons of God.'

(Matthew 5:10) "Happy are they who have been persecuted for righteousness's sake, since to them belongs the kingdom of heaven.

(Matthew 5:11) "Happy are you when they are reproached and persecuted and lyingly tell you all kinds of wicked things against you because of me.

In Matthew other translations used the word "blessed" instead of "happy".
Happiness is based on your life circumstances. Joy is what you have as you mature in Christ. Joy bubbles up from below. It has nothing to do with your life circumstances.
