(From Freedom in Christ)
Success comes from having the right goals
- Success is accepting God's goal for our lives and by his grace becoming what He has called us to be (Joshua 1:7,8; 2 Peter 1:3-10; 3 John 2).
Significance comes from proper use of time
- What is forgotten in time is of little significance. What is remembered for eternity is of greatest significance (1 Corinthians 3:13; Acts 5:33-40; 1 TImothy 4:7,8).
Fulfilment comes from serving others
- Fulfilment is discovering our own uniqueness in Christ and using our gifts to build others up and glorify the Lord (2 Timothy 4:5; Romans 12:1-18; Matthew 25:14-30).
Satisfaction comes from living a quality life
- Satisfaction is living righteously and seeking to raise the quality of our relationships and the things we do (Matthew 5:5; Proverbs 18:24; 2 Timothy 4:7).
Happiness comes from wanting what we have
- Happiness is being thankful for what we do have, rather than focusing on what we don't have - because happy are the people who want what they have! (Philippians 4:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:18; 1 Timothy 6:6-8).
Fun comes from enjoying life moment by moment
- The secret is to remove unbiblical hindrances such as keeping up appearances (2 Samuel 6:20-23; Galatians 1:10, 5:1; Romans 14:22).
Security comes from focusing on eternal values
- Insecurity comes when we depend on things that will pass away rather than the things that will last forever (John 10:27-30; Romans 8:31-39; Ephesians 1:13,14).
Peace comes from quieting the inner storm
- The peace of God is internal, not external (Jeremiah 6:14; John 14:27, Philippians 4:6,7; Isaiah 32:17).
