The perceptive ability of the mind is not as critical as the content of the mind. If God’s Word of Truth does not fill the God-shaped void in the soul, falsehood will fill the soul instead. Remember, God’s perfect integrity is not impressed with anyone’s self-righteousness, nor with humanity’s integrity – He is impressed with how much of His Word is in us, and how much we apply His Word to our lives.

Christ is the unchanging expression, the immutable embodiment of His doctrine, His teaching. He is what He teaches. He is the beginning of all things. His is a beginning that has not a beginning, from ever and ever to always and always.
Death is a passage, one that takes us from this life into true reality with our Savior. Death is not darkness to the believer. Death is but a shadow. It is only a shadow because light makes a shadow. Jesus Christ is the light of believers, in believers, and ever-present through the valley. Wait and walk in Him until you see His smiling face, then take His hand; there is no need to look back. Walk into His eternal love – God blesses forever.

True, enduring joy is found only on the inside, and is derived from the consistent intake and application of Bible doctrine, and from proper orientation to God. Joy is designed by God to be a permanent and stable happiness, providing inner peace and an assurance of God’s eternal love. With this joy, we are fulfilled in life – we become complete in eternity. Our own sin in the flesh wars against the joy of our salvation, the joy of our peace with God.
