Subject: Human Happiness and the Will of God |
Bible Note: Human Happiness and the Will of God Human happiness is the will of God -- not that we would seek our own but that of others. For example, in 1 Cor 7:32 and following the husband seeks to please or make happy his wife and vice versa. Although this is categorized as a worldly concern it is not called sin but rather what spouses are expected and obligated to do (compare verse 3). Note, the same idea found in the OT. Newly wed men are not permitted to join the military so that they may stay home for the year and make their wives happy. (Deut. 24:5) Something worth thinking about, wouldn't you say? |
