The choices of this life are impactful, especially the choice of receiving Christ as Savior. This world is rife with distractions that will keep hearts blinded.

A rejoicing saint bears fruit. It is impossible to produce spiritual fruit without being able to endure with joy.

The Scripture proclaims, -God resisteth the proud...- All to often, the hearer retorts, -Glad that's not me--

David the Psalmist finds himself in an utter state of betrayal. If ever we find ourselves in such plight might we resort to prayer, faith, and worship to the God of our Salvation.

After salvation by faith through grace, each believer should give great care in maintaining good works.

The salvation of the believer gives a lively hope in which we are to live till our hope's grand conclusion. When we receive the end of our faith, eternal life in the presence of our Savior.

It is a terrible sorrow when a believer is overtaken with sin that separates them from fellowship with Christ. What should be the response of each believer to this erring brother.

If we possess the fruit of the Spirit, Biblical love will be present as well.

Being yielded to the will of God despite the difficulties of life is indeed a mark of a rejoicing believer.
