Living the Happy life

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God: (Romans 5:1-2).
The only way of salvation is to be justified by grace, through faith. We find Joy in God's grace, we find Joy in suffering, and we find joy in God's Love... Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze us; they're supposed to help us discover who we are. The righteousness of God is given to all who believe. We are not brought to God for the purpose of an interview, but to remain with him; to be his household; and by faith, to behold his face, and walk in the light of his countenance, having access also indicates that this is a standing, permanent possession. Because our standing is based on grace, we really can stand and have peace, because we know that our access is a permanent possession. It cannot be taken away at a later time. Our access into this standing of grace is only by faith, and through Jesus; we cannot work ourselves into this standing. The access isn’t just into a standing of grace, but into the very courts of heaven. This is a blessing beyond peace with God.
