The Joy Of Salvation

Woman's moment of joy

The believer’s salvation is sustained by the joy of the Lord. The Bible tells us that the Joy of the Lord is our strength. The joy of salvation we received comes by the goodness and mercies of the Living God.

This joy can be expressed in many ways but very difficult to explain. Sometimes it comes with peace, laughter and smiles that are difficult to control. When we carry this joy it can also be radiated to others in our surroundings.

  1. Hmm. Your last point on rejection and its link to purpose hits the nail on the head. God indeed teaches us great lessons in all seasons of our lives, whether good or bad. It’s all for a greater good in Him. 🙌
