Written by H, Posted in Christian Living, Encouragement
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13)
If you’ve ever read through the book of Romans, you’re well aware that throughout it, the apostle Paul delivers a powerful presentation of the Gospel. Through Christ alone can we find eternal salvation; it is His righteousness alone.
The book of Romans also provides encouragement for Christians, as evidenced in Romans 15:13, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
- Only God can fill us with all joy and peace in believing (the key is we must believe in Him)
- As Christians, God will fill us with ALL joy, not just some joy or a little joy, ALL joy
- We have the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives
- We can abound in hope because we believe in Christ
- Only God can fill us with peace, and that peace comes when we believe
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13)

So what are some of the hallmarks of a true friend?
