I found that felicity or the inner peace from God to be a sustained happiness instead of the temporary happiness or exhilaration that we get from things other than God. The happiness of the heart is a strength and peace from God that remains in spite of difficulties. Emotional exhilaration comes and goes depending upon what comes our way. Scripture tells us how to arrive at the peace of God that passes all understand, and sainthood, in our present life. See Philippians 4:6-7; 1Peter 5:5-7; James 4:6-10; Romans 6:13-19, 8:28; Proverbs 3:5-6; Matthew 6:25-34, 11:28-30; Psalms 37:7, 55:22; Isaiah 26:3-4, 30:15, 55:6-9; John 6:63; Galatians 5:16-26.
The rest that Christ has from His humility towards His Father is transferred to us when we have Christ’s Spirit within us: and it is the peace of God. We need to have humility toward the entire Godhead in order to arrive at this place for ourselves.
