Love and Happiness - Pastor Nelson Turner - AV1611Reformation.com - 1-23-2011

Lord's Day sermon preached 1/23/2011 by Pastor Nelson Turner of www.AV1611Reformation.com from the AV1611 King James Bible the infallible word of God for English speaking people in these end-times.This sermon asks and answers what in truth makes a person happy. WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN LOVE, THEY EXPERIENCE A HAPPINESS DUE TO THAT LOVE---WHEN ONE HAS THE SENSE OF BEING LOVED, THERE IS A CONTENTMENT AND JOY WHICH CAN COME FROM NOTHING ELSE. GOD IS THE ETERNAL LOVER. THE SENSE OF BEING LOVED OF GOD IS THE ANTIDOTE TO ALL FEAR AND PRESENT DISTRESS. THOSE THAT HAVE NO SENSE OF BEING LOVED BY GOD NECESSARILY LIVE IN A STATE OF DISCONTENT AND COMPLETE UNCERTAINTY, WHETHER OR NOT THE ACKNOWLEDGE SUCH. THE CHRISTIAN FINDS HIS WON-VALUE OR SELF WORTH NOT IN HIS OWN MERITS OR DEEDS, BUT IN THE FACT THAT GOD THE FATHER SO LOVED THOSE WHOM HE HAS CHOSEN THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO DEATH ON THE CROSS FOR THEM. THIS LOVE IS PERFECTION DYING FOR IMPEFECTION, THE INCARNATION OF ABSOLUTE HOLINESS REDUCED TO A MISERABLE AND IGNOMINOUS DEATH TO PURCHASE REBELS AND TRAITORS AGAINST GOD, AND TRANFORM THEM INTO SONS OF GOD.THIS IS THE DEEPEST EXPRESSION OF LOVE EVER KNOWN. HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS AND HIS SAVING THEM FROM THEIR SINS IS THE POWER OF LOVE. BEING LOVED OF GOD AND HENCE LOVING GOD CREATES AN INWARD STATE OF HAPPINESS WHICH CAUSES ONE TO REJOICE. "REJOICE INTHE LORD AND AGAIN I SAY REJOICE."
