Life Is Good
This is not conjecture, it is a fact. God says so. (Ref: Jas 1:17; 2Ti 2:19-21; Phm 1:4-7; Php 4:4-9)

1Th 5:16-18
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Knowing Christ Is Everything
It’s not enough to just know “of” Him, or who He was, historically, or even that He died for the forgiveness of sin. To truly know Him is to know that life is good.

The Truth is immutable (it never changes), regardless of whether or not a person agrees with it.

1Co 10:31
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

2Co 5:16 [Amplified]
So from now on we regard no one from a human point of view [according to worldly standards and values].

Php 2:12

The Way Grace “Works”
WE are sanctified when we are gracious towards OTHERS.

Pr 11:24-25 [Message]
The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller. The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped.

Jn 4:34
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.”

Php 3:19
Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

“give, and it will be given to you”
This is a promise regarding grace. If we allow God’s grace to flow through us, we are blessed (cp. Pr 11:24-25). Love gives (Jn 15:12-13).

God’s Grace
God is prepared to reveal to each of us, in the context of our own lives, ANYTHING that takes us away from Him, experientially. (ref. Php 3:15)

God is glorified by blessing you out.

Heb 13:16
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
