“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 14:17 ESV
The kingdom of God IS a matter of:
Righteousness: (δικαιοσύνη) Goodness: Things are as they ought to be. (You know, no murder, stealing, etc. check out the Ten Commandments) Implied in a “Christian ethic” is LOVE one another.
Peace (εἰρήνη, -ης, ἡ) quietness, rest, prosperity (in a non materialistic, but you have what you need sense)
and Joy (χαρά) cheerfulness, calm delight, gladness, greatly, exceedingly joyful
In the Holy Spirit:
Holy: ἅγιος, -α, -ον, Hoky, worthy of reference, set apart.
Spirit: πνεῦμα, πνεύματος, τό (wind, Spirit)
You know. The presence of God. The person of God in our lives.
He brings joy. He brings goodness. He brings tranquility deep in our hearts
