What I call “The Christian Constants” are the most underrated blessings of what it means to know Christ in a life-giving way.
We spend too much time trying to get God to make improvements in the changeable dimensions of our lives ( work tensions, dollar dilemmas, even predictable strains with our kids) but we spend too little time luxuriating in the Constants that His cross-work has already guaranteed in our lives. Things like the constant peace of mind that being on morally forgiven ground with God brings, or the constant baseline of joy that is ours when we spend consistent time in His presence and get better at keeping His commandments in our daily decisions.
I explained this Guaranteed Pathway to Joy recently in an exposition of the final verse of one of the greatest messages Jesus ever delivered, His sermonic allegory on The Abiding Life in John 15:1-11. I was blessed in the revisiting of this classic passage, and I hope you will be too.
