There is more in Christ to make us glad than there is anything else in this life to cause despair. This is the reality behind the Apostle Paul’s wellknown command to the Philippians: “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!” Philippians 4:4 (NKJV) Paul wrote to believers wearied by opposition to the gospel, deceptive false messengers, and their own battles with self that fractured even their church relationships. In other words, he wrote to people just like you and me. As believers, we must constantly stay grounded in the reality that our sins are forgiven, that we are God’s chosen, heaven-bound children, and His purposeful presence with us in life’s storms isguaranteed.
