E14 HOPE, PEACE, JOY AND LOVE = YESHUA

Shalom, shalom (perfect peace), be upon you. My goal for this article is not to exhaust the biblical definitions of these four words mentioned in the title, that would take an eternity. I intend to help separate the watered-down understanding that our contemporary culture has for these words and give you a deeper and richer theological significance of them. In the last two articles “trust”, trusting in the character, and faithfulness of God, has been the central theme, and here we will continue with this thread. We will look at the benefits, or rather, blessings that come from trusting in the Creator of this universe, and His desire to continually bless, and to have an intimate relationship with us. What are these blessings that we receive when we have a healthy relationship with Yeshua as our Lord and our Savior? In previous articles, I covered how sin is an intrusion, and is not our true self, but here we will examine how a person can experience God’s blessings and a life of harmony, through HOPE, PEACE, JOY, and LOVE. I am going to present these four topics as a person, and that person is Yeshua, who embodies the essence of hope, peace, joy and love, and without Him, we can’t truly experience the harmony and wholeness they bring to the human experience.
