Joy in the Journey
Luke 5:27-38
The Source of our Joy
Repentance
Obedient Discipleship
The situation of our Joy
Not in isolated separation from the world
In the midst of sinners and other people just like us
The circumstances of our Joy
Joy is a fruit of the Spirit living in us Gal 5:22-23
Spirit of Adoption where we call God our Father
Gal 4:6, Rom 8:15
Joy of hope that God works all things for good for us Rom 8:28
Joy in the tribulations which produce Character
And confirm our hope Rom 5:3
Joy of experiencing liberty over Law Gal 4:5, Rom 8:1-2
Joy of Wedlock to our soul's true husband Rom 7:1-4
The rejection of our Joy
Many people will prefer the routine of legalism and the false
Comfort it brings to the challenge of following God on the
Trail of life.
