Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Romans 15:13

Is there a benefit in believing in God? Paul prays that God the Father, the God of hope, fill us with joy and peace. Not just a teaspoon or pint or quart or even gallon of joy and peace but Paul asks God to fill us with ALL joy and peace. This joy is beyond mere happiness and this peace is more than just an easy feeling. I believe this is a joy and peace that passes all understanding. And through the power of the Holy Spirit we have a hope that overflows. Joy, peace, hope...these are three attributes of God that we need in our lives. Regardless of who you are or where you are in your walk with Christ, we can have a joy, peace and hope that sustains us through every aspect of life.

If these were the only benefits in believing in God, they would be more than sufficient. But we also receive eternal life, forgiveness for sins, a relationship with God our Father, through His Son, Jesus Christ, grace, mercy, love, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, self-control, the Holy Spirit living in our lives and so much more. He has blessed with with EVERY spiritual blessing.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. Ephesians 1:3-4
