Romans 5:2 - By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Introduction

Rejoicing is not a state of happiness because one is free from all problems; rather, rejoicing comes from a relationship with God as one learns to depend on Him during all of life’s difficulties and emergencies.

Message

You see, Christians can rejoice even when sorrow comes into their lives, for during the darkest of hours, the floodgates of God’s love are opened to our hearts. The world also suffers; but they have no purpose, peace from God, or plan for the future. No matter how difficult things are down here, we who are saved know that we have a home in Heaven – and that is something to rejoice about!
