The Path to Joy

Dustin Benge

In "The Blessedness of the Righteous" (1668), John Howe reminds us that holiness isn’t a burden but a source of true happiness for the Christian believer. To be holy is to reflect the image of God, walk in obedience to His ways, and enjoy closer communion with Him. Howe invites us to see holiness as both the path to joy and evidence of God’s transforming work in our lives.
