David Jeremiah answers them in one of his sermons, Biblical Truth Accessible in Seconds. Here are some of the top [music] questions asked regarding what the Bible says about finding true happiness. Describing these moments in the life of Jesus, Paul put it this way. He said, “The kingdom of God is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
” Paul said, “Our lives ought to be characterized by righteousness and peace and joy.” We ought to be the most joyous people in the world. We can’t help it. We rejoice. We sing upbeat music. We sing happy music. We sing joyous music. I know some people think you worship with a durge, but I can’t put that together in the New Testament scripture.
We are to be people of joy. We should never apologize for being joyous. One of the great lessons I learned when I studied the book of Ecclesiastes, which is a rather dark book because it records the writings of Solomon when he was away from God and he’s trying to reason life out as if there were no God. But even in the midst of all of that, eight times in Ecclesiastes, we are told to rejoice in the life that God has given us.
Even in the most difficult things we have on earth, we have so much to be joyous about. Life taunts us into becoming a part of its drudgery when God wants us to enjoy the life he has given us. The Bible says in Philippians 4 and verse 4 that we’re to rejoice always in the Lord and always rejoice. Isn’t that interesting? Because if you listen to some people today, if you have to deal with the issue of death, you can’t be joyful. No.
