HOPE & JOY (1)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Joy
1. Joy
a) True joy can only be attained as part of the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). It is that overwhelming sense of comfort and contention that floods one's soul. It is the thing that we have when we are walking with the Holy Spirit and mortifying the deeds of the flesh (Romans 8:13).
b) True joy comes only when we are focused upon walking with the Lord and esteeming others (Philippians 2:3-5). Since joy is fruit of the Spirit it is a special gift that only the believer has (Ephesians 1:12-14; 4:30).
2. Hope And Joy
Proverbs 10:28
The hope of the righteous brings joy, but the expectation of the wicked will perish.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
