How do YOU define joy? Do you know what it is? Happiness? Excitement? Fun?
Here’s my answer for you, I’ve discovered a whole new meaning to the word enlightenment.
Since becoming more familiar with what the Gospel is about, I now have written on my heart a wonderful amazing mind-blowing pure JOY when a new person becomes One with Christ. Joy is the overflowing of pure happiness that comes from knowing God and being covered in His loving protection.
Since learning how to properly praise God and know his forgiving love, My heart literally is on FIRE (yet does not burn) feels like pure light that feels like joy, knows love, eliminates fear and dispels spiritual darkness.
To me, to be “enlightened”, not only to means to newly understand, but literally to be “Lit up” by life-saving knowledge.
So what is the significance of saving an eternal soul?
YOU ARE worth saving.
The LORD YAHWEH is of all gods, the most-High and Holy God. He is the creator and driving force of all life, He is all-knowing and intelligent.
The LORD YAHWEH taught His Son Jesus what to teach us during His ministry on earth. We were loved us enough through grace that even though we still sinned, the Father accepted the sacrifice of Jesus’ sinless life, raised Him up from the land of the dead, and gave Jesus rule over all spiritual heaven and earth.
ALL other spirits, good or evil, have NO choice but bow to Jesus’ command.
Humans have been designed with free will to choose their path. Humans have choice, they do not HAVE to bow, or listen. However, there are very real CONSEQUENCES of not listening.
He made a pact with us. He promised us, men and women, eternal salvation, spiritual protection, and the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit… but only to those who know of His decision to accept Christ Jesus as the perfect sacrifice to forgive all sin.
That is the catch. To truly be free… to know total salvation and eternal life… you have to learn of His eternal sacrifice for us, humble yourself by realizing that you still sin and never deserved such grace… but God loved you enough even with your faults that He had mercy on you. Through His grace we are saved.
Without being thankful for this, you are lost, and doomed to die.
If you already know Jesus then I overflow with joy for you! You do not know how much my heart beats with Love for you.
If you feel afraid… I pray for you… I appeal to you… to know the LORD Jesus. To know Him, do this… follow “The Roman Road”
Romans 3:23 – for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God (in other words, all people are sinners).
Romans 6:23 – for the wages of sin is death (in other words, all people who are sinners will be punished for their sins by spiritual death, eternal separation from God in a place called hell), but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (even though we deserve death because of our sins, God has made Heaven available as a free gift if we believe in Jesus.)
Romans 10:9 – that if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (In other words, to become a Christian, you must say/pray out loud and declare that Jesus is the Lord of your life, believing He is who the Bible says He is.
Now, my identity as a follower of Jesus has transformed my heart from the inside out. I am full of life and love, will to give charitably, and know true joy and happiness though saving those in need.
You can trust in the LORD’s unconditional love, which is found in the heart of all believers. All are a work in progress… but please, have hope, and reach out. You are welcome to contact me through this site (either the comment form or the private contact form), or seek out ministry in your area.
May you seek and find the Holy Spirit, and eternal salvation, in Jesus name.
Know this truth… YOU are loved.
In Jesus name.
