Why is knowing God essential for true happiness?

Answered in 1 source

True happiness comes from knowing God, as He alone provides peace and fulfillment that earthly pursuits cannot.

In the sermon, it is emphasized that both Epicureanism and Stoicism represent futile attempts to find happiness apart from a relationship with God. Paul teaches that contentment and true happiness are not derived from material possessions or self-discipline but from knowing God through Jesus Christ. The pursuit of happiness in worldly philosophies ultimately fails because joy is a byproduct of reconciliation with God. When one knows God, they also experience His peace, acceptance, and love, which surpasses all earthly achievements or pleasures.
