The Joy of Salvation
“Whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he”
(Proverbs 16:20).
The only people on earth who know lasting happiness or have an entrance into the joys of salvation are true “born again” Christians. Knowing that their sins have been forgiven and washed away by the precious blood of Christ, and that they are saved for all eternity, what could result but a flood of thanksgiving? As Peter declares, “Believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory” (1 Peter 1:8).
Some people believe that conversion to God puts a damper on happiness, not understanding at all what it is about. If one has never tasted the pure waters of redeeming love, how can he compare it to the polluted pleasure streams of this world? The Bible tells us to “O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him” (Psalm 34:8).
Have you believed the glad tidings? Are you rejoicing in eternal life? If not, you have missed the greatest, the only true and abiding joy to be found on earth.
“Yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord” (Psalm. 144:15).
