To Rejoice

Searching life’s mud can hide God’s greater treasure. Romans 5 grounds joy in peace with God and the sure hope of sharing His glory. Suffering does not destroy that hope, because the Holy Spirit pours God’s love into believers’ hearts. That love is clearest at the cross, where Christ died for people who were still His enemies. God’s grace gives believers a secure future, so joy rests in Him rather than life’s changing circumstances. Bible Reference: Romans 5:1–11 Preacher: KJ Tromp
