I'm curious, humans are not perfect, we've had our ups and downs.

Yet, people use something to keep their life intact, for instance, your savior; God. (Technically, God is everyone's savior, IF, they accept him)


No matter, rich or poor, good or bad, life or death, are you happy being a Christian?


PS: This has to respond/answer to Christians Only.(Well duh)
 
Yes, I am happy that I am a Christian. Just alone to know I have God to turn to when times aren't that great. We all have trials and tribulation. But at those times we should turn to God aswell and trust in him. 1Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
My daughters friend thinks if she becomes a christian she can't have fun anymore. I have told her that isn't so. Alot of people think the same way.
I love that I can turn to Jesus in my troubles.
God Bless ya'll

It is not so much being happy, because happiness is an emotion and subject to change. To be honest, there have been many times when I have not been happy. But according to Phillipians,

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

Content means:
1. sufficient for one's self, strong enough or processing enough to need no aid or support
2. independent of external circumstances
3. contented with one's lot, with one's means, though the slenderest

Gen,
You are right happy is an emotion.
I feel joy being a Christian and that joy comes from God. And yes there were times that I felt no happiness, but when I turn to God with my hurts, trials all things are posible. here is an exemple of how God worked in my life.

It's true that happiness is only an emotion and will change. What is more important is our being able to cast our cares on Him and to receive peace that surpasses all understanding. It is thru submission to Jesus that I am blessed and because of these blessings and peace I am indeed happy to be a Christian.
 
Thanks for posting that Corpse (and good to see you online again) that was what I was trying to get out, but couldn't find the words.

Yes, I cannot imagine life without Him. I take great comfort in Romans 8:28 and knowing that He always has my best interest at heart helps to lessen the pain of the bad times.
 
1Co 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

Christians have the hardest life of all men. They live in a foreign land, among the enemies of their God. For God's sake they are "killed all day long." They are martyred for love, they are persecuted for good works. Of all men we should be the saddest, gloomiest, and most hopeless... yet:

John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

Romans 8:36-37 "As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."


How are we more than conquerors? How do we have peace that passes all understanding?

Romans 8:35-39 "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

1 Corinthians 15:51-53 "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed–– in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."

Nothing will separate me from the love of my Father in heaven. I will recieve a glorified and ressurected body, when He comes to judge the world, with which to enjoy Him forever. How could I not be happy?
