About This Book
Christ said, “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full” (John 15:11).
A joy-filled person is the best advertisement Christ has for a joyless world to consider his loving offer of salvation. The second fruit of the Spirit (joy) makes one an inspirational and infectious person to be around, whether you are a marriage partner, a business leader, or a next-door neighbor.
The way Christ wants to accomplish this in and for us is through his two-step process as outlined in Colossians 3:
• Step One: “Put to death therefore what is earthly in you” (Col. 3:5). We will refer to this as the removal of a Joy Killer.
• Step Two: “Put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge” (Col. 3:10). We will refer to this as a Joy Maker.
Each chapter is divided into these two steps. With each chapter, you find an increasingly deep and rewarding joy as you pitch your tent one day closer to eternity.
