“These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.” (1 John 1:4)
Why did John write to the Christians? When they obeyed God, which could only be done through reading the New Testament writings (see Romans 10:17), it brought John joy.
There is joy in teaching others. When we live lives with teachers’ hearts, all whom we teach are presented an opportunity to find joy as we watch them learn. Teach your children of the Lord, and their faith brings you joy. Teach your neighbor about Jesus, and their opened eyes becomes a wellspring of jubilation in your heart. When you share the faith and don’t just keep it, there is a whole new level of triumphant delight you will discover.
Say the things that matter. Complete your joy.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
