Joy

by Alistair Begg

Galatians 5:22
 (ID: 3179)

Happiness comes from pleasant circumstances—but what about joy? The Bible states that Christians are to be joyful even when troubles come. In this message, Alistair Begg describes the deep-seated joy that is produced in believers by the Holy Spirit: joy that springs from our salvation and is based not on circumstances but on God’s grace. As the fruit of the Spirit is grown in our hearts, we can increasingly respond to difficulty with a joy that the world cannot explain.
