Bible Study Joy or Happiness?

[Biblereader]

What's the difference between joy and happiness, when spoken of by our Lord Jesus, in His Holy Word, the KJV bible?

Joy-chara- found in several verses, some of which are:
Matt. 13:44, Gal. 5:22, John 15:11

Happy-makarios- found in Jeremiah 12:1, 1 Cor. 7:40, 1 Peter 3:14, John 13:17



But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

24And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

The Holy Spirit comes not with emotional patterns, but with truth.

Lets go to scripture shall we, I see this as a person happy in his own conceit's.. :wink:
Ecclesiastes 7:6
6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.
Joy as it is in Luke 10:17
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

happiness isn't just a mark of a fool, although that was a good verse you used.

Do this and you'll be doing yourself a very large favor. Read the book of Proverbs,
not all at once but as the Lord leads. I guarantee you'll be the wiser if you do.
