What does the Bible say about finding contentment in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that true contentment is found only in Christ, as He provides what our hearts truly long for.

The biblical narrative emphasizes that the only true contentment arises from a relationship with Christ. As Greg Elmquist points out in the sermon on Jonah 4, God designed our hearts to seek Him for true satisfaction. While worldly possessions or achievements may temporarily please us, they ultimately leave us discontent, much like Jonah. Only Christ can meet the deep needs of our souls, as highlighted in passages like Psalm 17:15, which affirms, 'As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.'
