The secret to happiness

"But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does." James 1.25

It is impossible to walk in sin and be free. The spirit of sin has trapped its victims so that they cannot understand the reason for so much unhappiness.
Disorder, indiscipline and rebellion are elements of injustice that have prevented freedom. Freedom of life, of conscience... Consequently, even with the world at their feet, yet the slave of sin is unhappy.
That is why God, in creating man, also established righteous laws that, once practiced, leads to a life of freedom, peace within yourself and especially with God.

Sincere conversion

"For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: 'In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength...'” Isaiah 30.15

Sin does not allow the heart to settle down. Only sincere conversion brings inner peace. Peace with yourself and especially with the Spirit of God. It is the tranquility that money, the glory or the power of this world cannot give. This is the force that keeps the confidence of salvation renewed.

REBELLIOUS FAITH

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ..."     Romans 5.1

Faith gives us peace with God. We obey the Word of God by faith. The kind of faith that does not give you peace with God is rebellious faith.
If your faith does not bring you inner peace, your soul is in danger of losing its salvation.

SINNER

"And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast saying, "God, be merciful to me a sinner!"    Luke 18:13

When you are sincere in acknowledging your sins and repent, you receive forgiveness, salvation and perfect inner peace.

CONFIDENCE

"For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: 'In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.' But you would not..."   Isaiah 30:15

When you turn away from evil, you move toward inner peace.  But our strength comes from the tranquility and confidence found in the Word of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel.
