The Joy of Sacrifice and Service
We have joy in Christ through the sacrifice and service of 1) Obedience, 2) Doing All Things Without Murmuring or Complaining, and 3) Holding Fast the Word of Life. Each person should understand that sacrifice and service bring joy to our lives because we are not focusing on self, but God and others. Ultimately, joy does not come by focusing on ourselves but on God and others.
