Sad
Some people seem to think that a Christian is a sad person who goes through life without much joy or pleasure and whose life is filled with many “don’ts.”“Don’t do this” or “Don’t do that” he always seems to be saying. This, however, is not true. It is a lie of Satan. A Christian can and should be full of peace and joy. Real and lasting happiness is the portion of every believer.
Sad! What is there about God’s good news calculated to make a person sad? Does it make a person sad to know that all of their sins are forgiven? Does it make one sad to know that he will spend eternity with the Lord Jesus in heaven?
In the Bible, King David said: “Happy is that people, whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 144:15). He also wrote: In Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalm 16:11). Being delivered from the bondage of sin, death, and judgment, is the only way we can have peace of heart now and the hope of eternal joy. “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing” (Romans 15:13).
