September 3, 2024 – Quote for the Day:
“There are eight Greek words translated as ‘joy’ in the New Testament – with the predominant definition being inner peace, assurance and delight. One of the root words in Greek for ‘joy’ is similar to the word translated as ‘grace’ – suggesting a close connection to God’s grace and the joy one realizes because of that grace. Joy in the Bible ultimately comes from God. Contrasted with happiness, particularly as the word is commonly used in our contemporary world, joy is not based on possessions or circumstances that bring pleasure or gratification of the senses.”
