Series: Believe (Part 2)
Chuck Booher
Galatians 5:22-23
Man whose Doberman came to him with neighbors rabbit
From the Personals in Guilford Connecticut
Ugly, Rude, Insincere, Untrustworthy, Dishonest, Slovenly, Uneducated, SWM, 24… wants to entice the exact opposite SWF with a romantic candlelit dinner.
Obviously this guy got it wrong.
We tend to attract people to us who are like us.
The first 10 weeks of Believe are truths we believe.
The Second 10 weeks is what we do.
The Third 10 weeks are what we are to become.
Because we are loved by God and have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit we should be a people of Love.
We also should be the most joyous people on earth!
Joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit…
Galatians 5:22-23 (NASB)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Joy: chara-joy, delight, gladness. Happiness.
It is a noun so it is who you are!
Which leads to what you do!
WE are to rejoice always…
1Th 5:16 - Rejoice always;
Philippians 4:4-5 (NASB)
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!
5 Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.
The word rejoice is used 16 times in Philippians
Rejoice: chairo-Verb Present Active Imperative-You are commanded to keep on rejoicing in the Lord!
This is something you do!
This is to be what we do and who we are at all times.
Paul said this in spite of his circumstances.
Imprisoned with an impending trial, which could lead to death.
People attacking him.
Conflict in the Church so intense he needed to single two of the people out.
Baker Exegetical Commentary of the New Testament.
"This rejoicing does not depend on changing circumstance, but on the One who does not change"
This rejoicing is only possible and only to be done when it is based in the Lord.
Always means No matter what the circumstances you are ...
