Joyful Living

Do you want to live a blessed life? Do you want to experience and express God's joy in every situation? Do you want to overcome the enemy and the challenge of joy?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this book is for you. In this book, you will discover the meaning, value, and practice of joy as an important Christian value. You will learn from the biblical examples and teachings of joy, as well as from your own experiences and challenges. You will also learn how joy can help you to live boldly and fearlessly in Christ.
In this book, you will explore:
The source of joy, which is God Himself, and how He shares His joy with us through His creation, His revelation, His redemption, and His presence.
The gift of joy, which is God's grace to us, and how He gives us joy as a fruit of His Spirit, a result of His work, a promise of His word, and a reward of His service.
The enemy of joy, which is sin and its consequences, and how sin robs us of joy by separating us from God, by corrupting our nature, by deceiving our minds, and by enslaving our wills.
The challenge of joy, which is suffering and its trials, and how suffering tests our joy by exposing our weaknesses, by shaking our faith, by threatening our hope, and by demanding our obedience.
The practice of joy, which is the expression and demonstration of joy in our daily lives, and how we can practice joy by cultivating a joyful attitude, by choosing a joyful action, by sharing a joyful message, and by joining a joyful community.
