Difference Between Happiness & Joy



There is a clear difference between happiness and joy. Happiness has an expiration date (minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years), Joy, on the other hand, has no expiration date and is permanent. Happiness can be found in the physical world in the form of a new car, a house, a victory, the birth of a child, a marriage, sex, partying, winning the big ticket, etc. Joy can only be found in God Jesus the Messiah, it is impossible to have joy in your life without God. 

Joy is connected to the Truth, The Truth is revealed only by God, He is The Truth, The Way and The Light. Without God we do not know The Truth, we do not know The Way that we must follow because we do not have The Light. All the problems in a person's life, whether physical, mental, financial, material, spiritual, and even death, come from the fact that a person does not know The Truth, does not have The Light, and cannot find The Way. Every problem you run into, no matter how hopeless it may seem (even death), can and will be solved when you accept God Jesus the Messiah and acknowledge that you need Him. God is the only one who wants and can help everyone, He gives eternal life to everyone who believes in Him and follows Him.
