Signs of the Spirit Part 2

In this second message of the series "Signs of the Spirit", Pastor Mike Plunket teaches on joy. Studying the passage in Romans 5:1-11 we learn that our faith in Christ has availed for us peace with God, His acceptance, and our adoption as His legitimate and loved sons and daughters. If this is true, we should fear nothing. In fact, joy is the result of a life free of all fears. The passage shows us how there are for the Christian at least three real and profound reasons for joy: first, we have the hope, the certainty, of sharing in the glory of God (Rom 5:2); second, tribulations produce in us endurance, maturity, and ultimately "the habit of joy", independent of circumstances (v 3-4); and third, we enjoy a life of reconciliation with God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (v 11).
