Introduction: Do you feel like complaining or rejoicing? I love the Scripture in the letter to the Philippians.

“Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice” (Philippians 4:4).

And again, here is another great Word to believers:

“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1Thess 5:18).

Why should we rejoice?

1. Our name is written in the lambs book of life (Luke 10:18-20)

2. Our citizenship is in heaven (Phil 3:20,21)

3. Our new life is in Christ (Col 3:4)

4. Our sins are forgiven (Eph 1:7)

5. Our joy is in the Lord (Neh 8:10)

6. Our hope is in Jesus Christ (Tit 2:13)

7. Our victory is already won by Jesus Christ (1Cor 15:57)

8. Our strength comes from Christ (Phil 4:13)

9. Our peace is in the Lord (Psa 29:

10. Our Faith comes from the Word of God (Rom 10:17)

Conclusion: What do you think about that? It should give us reasons to rejoice!
