The Fruits of the Spirit: Joy - Dibar K Apartian - March 1979

Dibar K Apartian

Can you be truly happy and joyful in a world of confusion, sadness and corruption? Can you be so without false pretention? Yes, you can and you should, if you are a true Christian. Joy is an attribute of God. It is of God. It is a "fruit of the spirit" - the second fruit after love - followed by "peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law" (Galatians 5:22-23). If you are only joyful when things go right, when you are in good health, successful and prosperous, then you are only a part-time Christian, and no part-time Christian will ever enter the Kingdom of God! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
