Confidence in my forgiveness brings joy and peace
Joy: emotion of great happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying Lk 10:20; Rom 5:11
Peace: harmonized relationship between God and man and what results- absence of mental anxiety; inner contentment and serenity Eph 2:17-18; Col 1:19-20

So, I’ve Broken the Rules, Now What?How can I have Hope, Joy, and Peace?
My joy and peace come from the Holy Spirit, from believing what He says about my forgiveness:
Gal 5:22-23; Rom 15:13
Jesus is my Propitiation Jesus is my AdvocateGod is faithful and righteous
If I believe what the Spirit says, the God of hope will fill me with joy and peace, so that I abound in hope

So, I’ve Broken the Rules, Now What?
Am I living in fear of God and in fear of punishment in hell?
or
Am I living in joy, peace, and hope of heaven?
