Sermon crafted with combining outlines from:
The Joy of Salvation
1 Peter 1:8
Introduction
A. There is an old idea that Christianity must express itself in a gloomy “piosity,” that Christians must go about with “long faces.”
B. Is Christianity a burden or a bridge?
C. Christianity is a joy.
I.
There Is a Difference Between Worldly Happiness and Christian Joy
A. The world is seeking happiness; it depends on outward circumstances for happiness, and especially on a change of these outward circumstances.
“As a rule, a man’s a fool,
When it’s hot, he wants it cool;
When it’s cool, he wants it hot,
And he always wants what’s not.”
B. Happiness—like prosperity—always seems to be just around the corner, just out of a person’s reach.
C.
Even if worldly happiness is realized, it can be temporary at best.
“Oh, the world is full of sighs,
Full of sad and weeping eyes.”
D. Christian joy is different.
1.
It is inward; it does not depend upon outward circumstances.
2. It is real and present; it does not depend upon the future; it is within our grasp.
3. It is eternal; we are assured of a joyful future.
E. The Bible contains many instances of Christian joy.
1.
The apostles rejoiced that they were worthy to suffer for the name of Christ.
(Acts 5:41)
2. Paul and Silas rejoiced in prison by singing hymns to God, even though their backs were bleeding from fresh beatings.
(Acts 16:25)
II.
Christian Joy Comes After Obedience to Christ
A. The Ethiopian eunuch rejoiced after he had been obedient.
(Acts 8:39)
B. Saul was strengthened only after he completed his obedience to God. (Acts 9:19)
C. The Philippian jailer rejoiced only after he had been obedient to the gospel.
(Acts 16:34)
D. Faith produces misery of a tender conscience.
E. Repentance is described as a soul in throes of dying to sin, in travail of being born anew.
F. Only the divine assurance of sins forgiven brings true joy.
III.
Who Rejoices?
A. The Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and angels in heaven rejoice when one soul is saved.
(Luke 15:7)
B. The church rejoices.
C. The loved ones of the new Christian usually rejoice.
D. The person who is saved rejoices.
Conclusion: 1 Peter 1:8, 9.

Supernatural Spiritual Joy
My LORD!!
Real Joy!!
Joy is a fruit that will not grow
In nature’s barren soil;
All we can boast, till Christ we know,
Is vanity and toil.
But where the Lord hath planted grace,
And made His glories known,
These fruits of heavenly joy and peace
Are found, and there alone.
—John Newton
