FAQ: What Is a Joyful Walk?
The world defines joy as happiness from good happenings, like success, good health, and good fortune. But, if circumstances aren’t so good, it’s very hard to have a joyful walk if that’s your definition of joy. But, for believers in Jesus Christ, we have access to a different kind of joy—biblical joy. Biblical joy is a deep, inner gladness, regardless of circumstances, regardless of people or things. It doesn’t find its source in anything earthly. Biblical joy is supernatural. It is inseparable from the character of God and comes only from a relationship with Him and is available to every believer.
Did you know that the Bible calls your whole life a “walk” of faith? If you have trusted in Jesus Christ, you are now on a faith walk. Physical walking is a process of movement in a specific direction trusting your legs to support your body weight. Similarly, a faith walk is a process of moving forward with Jesus Christ by your side, learning to trust His strength to support you, and being rewarded with His joy. You must choose the right pathways to get there.
A pathway is a way of achieving a specified result. If you are you a joy-seeker, then you want a guide to the right pathways to find joy in your spiritual life.
The right pathways to take for your faith walk are knowing Jesus Christ, basking in God’s grace to you, grasping your identity, choosing whom you will serve every day, claiming your freedom from bondage, and moving forward with perseverance through every trial. Pathways to a Joyful Walk lessons will guide you to the pathways for achieving a faith walk that is full of joy. That is the reward.
Knowing Jesus…Knowing Joy! is a study of Philippians-Paul’s letter full of joy in the Lord. Graceful Living Bible Study leads you to experience a life of freedom and joy as does the related devotional Graceful Living Today.
