Joy

Overview

How do you know whether you’re just trying to be good, or whether the Holy Spirit has really brought transformation into your life?

The way to know is to look at what’s called the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5. There’s a whole set of characteristics of a supernaturally changed heart. We’re looking now at the first of these: joy.

Romans 5 tells us three things about joy. It tells us 1) joy is important, 2) Christian joy is unique, and 3) where Christian joy comes from.
