Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. I. FAITH NATURALLY TENDS TO FILL THE SOUL WITH THE MOST PLEASANT AND DELIGHTFUL FULNESS, PLEASURE, AND HOPE. II. THOUGH FAITH NATURALLY TENDS TO FILL THE SOUL WITH THE MOST PLEASANT AND DELIGHTFUL FEELINGS, YET EVEN TRUE CHRISTIANS DO NOT ALWAYS FULLY ENJOY THEM. III. WE MUST LABOUR TO REMOVE THE OBSTACLES WHICH PREVENT OUR FULL ENJOYMENT OF THIS SPIRITUAL HAPPINESS. (D. Savile, M.A.) Parallel Verses KJV: Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. |
