How do we know that true happiness is found in God?
Answered in 1 source
True happiness is found in God as He is the source of everlasting joy and peace, not tied to transient worldly pleasures.
The foundation of true happiness is deeply rooted in the knowledge and experience of God's love, as highlighted in the sermon. The claim that true happiness is found in God is supported by Scripture such as John 15:9-11, where joy is associated with remaining in Christ's love. This aligns with the broader understanding that earthly happiness is often fleeting and unreliable. C.S. Lewis poignantly states that a desire for fulfillment beyond this world indicates we were made for another realm, emphasizing that true contentment comes from the hope and certainty provided by God’s eternal promises. As believers reflect on God’s attributes and His works, they find lasting joy and peace.
