1 John 1:4 And these things write we to you, that your joy may be full. There is an intimate connection between happiness and holiness. If you are striving to attain the other port to which John would pilot you, that port of "Sin not," remember that patience and peace and joy in the Lord are sailors of which it is hardly too much to say, "Except these abide in the ship ye cannot be saved." At all events, full salvation demands fulness of joy. (J. B. Figgis, M. A.)
