Are you looking for ways to find happiness today through Christianity? Here are 8 ways the Bible tells you that you can find it.

“Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.” Deuteronomy 33:29

If you want to be a happy Christian, reflect on what God has done for you. He has saved you from sin and death. He is your Help and your Shield. He has given you the invincible sword of His Word. He has overcome the world and promised you victory. Someday you will rule and reign with Him forever. Meditate on these truths, and you will find true joy and happiness as a Christian.

“Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:” Job 5:17

This path to happiness through Christianity might surprise you, but it is true nonetheless. If you want to be happy, receive the Lord’s correction. He only corrects and disciplines His children. So if you do not know His correction, it means you are not His child. But if He is correcting you when you stray, that is a cause for rejoicing because it means you are His and He loves you. Do you want to be happy today? Rejoice in God’s correction.

“Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.” Psalm 144:15

Is God your King? Have you fully submitted yourself to Him? If so, then you are in a happy case. God is a great King. He is powerful and exalted, yet He is humble and gracious. If you will submit yourself to Him, then He will draw near to you. If you know God as your Lord, then you have found happiness through Christianity.
