Righteousness, Peace, and Joy in the Holy Spirit

A man did a thorough search and documented his findings. He used a scientific approach to uncover which lifestyle is the most meaningful existence in a world filled with meaningless activity. He stated his conclusion at the end of his book…

“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” [1]

Why should we reverence God and uphold the commands He gave us? He’s our Creator and Sustainer! He is wiser than we are! He is more trustworthy than we are! His goal is to bring us into a wonderful existence with Him for all eternity.

“The kingdom of God is… righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.” [2]

[1] Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
[2] Romans 14:17
