Enjoy life
In the book of Ecclesiastes we read,
“Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.
Let your garments be always white. Let not oil be lacking on your head.
Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life that he has given you under the sun because that is you portion in life and your toil at which you toil under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 9:7-9.
I’ve heard it said that the Christian life is “following a bunch of rules”. “A bunch of do’s and do not’s.” To which I say it is not.
The Christian life comes with set of rules to live by that’s true. But those rules are like the rules for playing football. The rules are there so that you have good and fair game.
The rules Christians follow are layed down by God so that we know what He requires of us. That being said God wants us to enjoy life. The above Scripture tells us that.
"Go, eat your bread with joy,
and drink your wine with a merry heart,
for God has already approved what you do.”
Ecclesiastes 9:7.
So yes while we as believers in Christ Jesus have rules to follow. They are rules that help us live a good and happy life.
Please think about it.
