Joy to the World the LORD is Come...

Joy is to the world! However, each person is responsible to receive that joy. Free choice has been given to mankind to accept GOD's joy or refuse His joy.  There's a difference between terrestrial joy and celestial joy. Terrestrial joy is temporary, Celestial joy is Eternal. Terrestrial joy is of the material things of the flesh, when Spiritual joy is of GOD and is everlasting. I Corinthians 15:53-54, 57 "For the perishable must clothe itself with imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: 'Death has been swallowed up in victory!  But thanks be to GOD! He gives us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ!' " Joy is our immortality in Christ Jesus! Joy is our victory over death. Joy is that life does continue after temporarily separated from this fallen world! But, the question is: Where will you spend your Eternity? Will it be in the full joy of our Almighty Savior GOD, Jesus,  in heaven for Eternity? Or, will it be in agony of the separation from Almighty Savior GOD, Jesus, in an Eternal Lake of Fire where the flame is never quenched and the worm never dies!  Mark 9:48

 

 

Joy, whether in this life or the next to come, comes from trusting GOD in the salvation that comes in accepting Christ's free gift of Eternal life that He offers you for Him paying the penalty on the Cross for your sins. Romans 3:23 says that, "All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of GOD." John 1:12-13 shares, "Yet to all who receive Him (Jesus), to those who believe in His Name, He gave the right to become children of GOD; children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision, but born of GOD!" 

 

 

Choose your joy today in accepting Jesus as your Savior. When His Holy Spirit comes into you, a joy you have never known will open up your heart to the joy of knowing our Almighty Creator Savior GOD!
