The Joy Of Being A Christian 4/5/2015 am The Joy Of Being A Christian Galatians 5:22; Philippians 4:4 Micky Galloway

Not Dependant On Outward Circumstances Hebrews who were persecuted. Hebrews 10:32-34 Apostles rejoiced. Acts 5:41 Paul and Silas in prison. Acts 16:25; 1 Thessalonians 2:2 Paul about to be executed. 2 Timothy 4:6-8 Joy and suffering are related. Matthew 5:11-12; 1 Peter 4:12-16

Those Who Make “Joy” Dependant Upon Circumstances Are Not Finding It Solomon. Ecclesiastes Moses. cf. Hebrews 11:25 The rich man. Luke 12:16-21 Prodigal. Luke 15 John 16:22 “And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you.”

What Gives A Christian Such Joy? The promises of God. 2 Peter 2:4; Psalms 33:21; Romans 5:2; cf. Romans 12:12; Romans 15:13 “I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee.” Hebrews 13:5 Our names are written in heaven. Luke 10:20 Rejoice “In the Lord.” Philippians 3:1; 4:4 … “I bring you tidings of Great Joy.” Luke 2:10 The word of God. Psalms 1:2; Psalms 19:8,10; Psalms 119:14, 16, 111, 162, 165 Preaching of Philip in Samaria. Acts 8:4-8 Preaching of Philip to the Eunuch. Acts 8:39

What Gives A Christian Such Joy? Fellowship of the saints. Philippians 1:3-4 Thankfulness with joy is viewed as the undertone of the Philippian letter. 1:18,25; 2:17,18,28,29; 3:1; 4:1,4,10 Paul thanked God for his brethren. Romans 1:8; 1 Corinthians 1:4; Philemon 4 “We give thanks …” Colossians 1:3; 1 Thessalonians 1:2; 2 Thessalonians 1:3 We should rejoice at the anticipation of being with our brethren. 1 Thessalonians 3:6-9; Philemon 7

What Does This Mean To The Christian? Count it all joy … James 1:2-4 Produces joy and cultivates patience. Hebrews 10:32ff Run the race with patience. Hebrews 12:2 See 2 Corinthians 11:23; 2 Corinthians 4:17ff; Romans 8:18; 1 Peter 1:8; 1 Peter 4:13; Jude 24 Only until we see the unseen, will this lasting joy become a reality. Only in the Lord. Philippians 4:4

Conclusion: The joy of being a Christian far outweighs all of the world’s adversities and makes our lives rich, full and satisfying.
