Joy

The Father is glorified when we bear much fruit and prove to be Christ’s disciples.

When Solomon commands us to savor life joyfully because God has already approved what we do, he is taking us back to creation and showing us that legitimate, earthly pleasures were given to us by God for our blessing.

But Christians are more than just individual followers of Christ; we exist as a team, a fellowship around the furtherance of the gospel, and part of a united body in which all members both cooperate with and care for one another.

For true Christians, trials will reveal the genuineness of our faith.
