More Joy
More on joy. Some quotes, old and new on the grand theme of joy (emphasis mine):
“Joy, in the full Christian sense of the word, is a supreme contentment, a supreme peace, a supreme concentration on the source of joy, and a supreme happiness at the way things are for one.” – JI Packer
“The main mark of a justified Christians is joy.” – John Stott
“The gospel is not a way to get to heaven; it is a way to get people to God. It’s a way of overcoming every obstacle to everlasting joy in God.” – John Piper
The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever – Westminster Catechism
