When Choosing A Spiritual Road, Consider Living Agalliao

By Jana Serrano


There are words in scripture that are so profound that they become almost like mantras for those who understand the often many faceted definitions. Bible scholars present them as guideposts for meaning in every day living. These are the terms that, when well explained, have a literal meaning, and then a much more complex interpretation based on context. It is true that they very often excite the spirituality of those who come to know them.

There are very popular biblical words, such as agape, which describes the all inclusive love that Christians share with each other and the word. But a new word has become as meaningful in relationship to current cultural events. Now, this word agalliao is making a big splash in the spiritual world in many interesting ways.

Rejoicing, exulting and being glad are all attributes of this Greek word. More importantly, these words include exceeding before each of them. The overall idea is that feelings combine with action to effect change.

Books teach ways to incorporate these extraordinary feelings into everyday living. Author David Ross Sherman teaches people to jump with great joy regardless of what is happening in life. Aaron Cornett has written a series of books about this word which give practical advise for including this principal throughout a lifetime. Online websites devote pages to explaining the meaning of this many faceted Greek word. Each literary source gives credit to what they feel is a joyful gift from God.

Organizations have also adopted the literal meaning of jumping for joy as a way to inspire their charitable works. There is a non profit organization in Nigeria that hopes to eradicate illness, hunger, illiteracy and pervasive poverty from the children and mothers they serve. There is a church in North Carolina proclaiming itself as a place of exceeding gladness. A music praise worship team leads its congregations with rejoicing. Each of these groups uses this spirited word significantly when naming themselves.

Sermons, seminary dissertations and essays are also included on Internet pages published with the theme of jumping with exceeding joy. There are those who look to it as an ultimate power word, reaching many with the goal of including positive thinking in their lives. Catching the feelings and imaginations of many, it has evoked a sense of capability and encouragement for many readers.

Regardless of all the many thoughtful interpretations it carries a depth of meaning that can stand multiple study sessions. It can encourage people seeing better lives to find useful ways to incorporate its wisdom in times of difficult decisions. Those struggling with difficulty can look at its exhortation to remain positive regardless of circumstances because God gifts his followers with strength to do so.

This intriguing word is much more than its meaning. It is a collective thought process and a way of life. Many believers have come to embrace its positive path and have learned to choose it.
