There’s no happiness in Him…
It’s only Joy, that’s in Christ.
See the difference ;
Happiness; is when something cause you to laugh for a period.
Joy; Is the permanent feeling that Christ gives all believers at birth.
The line inbetween; you can pay to have happiness.. But the Joy cometh without money, only through assurance of the giver, which is Christ in whom there is no Shadow of turning…
Joy can produce happiness
But happiness can give you Joy…
Bless you

Jesus is the gift. The point of this life is to learn to love others and Him. It’s supposed to be fun even though there’s heartbreak, too. His manifest presence will make one lovesick and love drunk, utter bliss
-
It’s joy, not happiness. Being a Christian gives an innate sense of spiritual joy, while happiness is derived from ones physical life.
-
Joy comes from using the Atonement of Jesus Christ to be made clean and then become better everyday!
-
Nothing, happiness is based on ones surroundings, that is family, job, and so forth, for Christians it is not about happiness it is about “joy” we have our joy no matter what our lives is like.

Jesus.?

Truth
-
Happiness is an affection and both believers and unbelievers can express that but the only difference is it’s root one is Christ and the other is self!
-
Not happiness but joy.
Jesus Christ. John 15:11 1 Peter 1:8-9
Gods word. Psalm 1:1
The Holy Spirit 5:22 -
I dont think there is a correlation between the two. However, in the biblical sense there may be a relationship between joy and Christianity, joy is deep-seated in Christ, whereas happiness is more worldly.

Jesus is our savior

We are not Christians just for happiness. Happiness and success are not guaranteed in following Jesus.
-
We have a peace above all understanding.
-
We live as Christians who are filled with questions as we have not ate from the forbidden tree of knowledge. The bible been around for 2000 years and we still fill new discoveries. It a way for God to keep us close to him and to keep our conversation with him
-
Happiness is base only on earthly things.
-
Apart from Christ, there is no standard by which to call anything happy or sad.
-
Happiness is fleeting. Joy is a fruit of the spirit.

Happiness is found in Christ. He offers peace, hope and love. Deepening our relationship with Him and discovering and pursuing our unique purpose God gave us will lead us to happiness. Beware, though! What the world teaches us happiness is and what God teaches us in the Bible vary wildly though. The world thinks riches, self worship and pursuing pleasure is happiness while the Bible teaches us happiness comes from peace and purpose in God.
-
Christian is very big different from happiness because when Jesus come in our heart everything change in our life.
-
Happiness is temporary and is based on earthly things. Emotionally and physically.
Christianity have joy instead which is deeper than Happiness and is based on Godly and heavenly things which is also eternal. -
Happiness is a state of mind and Christianity is a way of life. When both connect there is the integrity of proper relationship between faith and the state of mind and when they don’t, the obvious conclusion is the disconnect between the two, religion becomes a mere social identity and happiness is sought elsewhere!
-
The only true happiness, true fulfillment is only found in Jesus,,
I can attest to this.
Many times we seek happiness from other places, but only Jesus gives it. -
The link is undeniable. Studying the Bible like I do fills me with such satisfaction and insight that I can’t help but be happy, yea, joyful. Don’t get me wrong, I have bad days just life everyone else, but God always brings me back to Him. There simply is no better place to rest!
-
The TRUTH we learn from the Gospel, ? gives us joy beyond mere happiness.

I am right with Almighty God, I mean I am ok with The Just Judge who will one day judge all men and I am ok, I have been written in the Lambs book of life. If death comes to me I will be going to my Lord and Saviour for Eternity. Though I go through hardships in this life I trust in Him who has redeemed my soul. Thank you Jesus

Luke 10:20 (KJV) Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

I’m going to say none. Christ brings us joy, not happiness. Happiness is temporary, but the joy of Christ is eternal.

Joy comes in the morning and Jesus creates each day

THE DIFFERENCE IS JESUS GIVES YOU JOY AND JOY IS UN TOUCHABLE NO MATTER WHAT IS HAPPENINGGGGGG. YOU CAN BE IN A SLUMP AND CHRISTIANITY JESUS CHRIST GIVES YOU JOY … HAPPINESS CAN FAIL YOU
-
Paul and Silas were beaten and they rejoiced. But when James was slain everyone mourned. I think non Christian would rejoice more when somebody dies, if they can rejoice when beaten.

Joy.

Happiness is having peace of mind Jesus Christ can give that.

true eternal security. eph 2:8 &9..
-
Not happiness, but joy. The joy described in scripture is not happy happy joy joy, getting what I want, and being giddy, joy is a deep contentment/ satisfaction in all situations good or bad in the peace/ shalom of God as you remain and walk with Him through said situations.
