A Happy Man

James 1:12  (ID: 1244)

Happiness does not depend upon favorable circumstances. Rather, in this sermon, Alistair Begg challenges us to see happiness as an outflow of sin forgiven and the promise of eternal life. We can be happy in our trials when we see them as means of God’s purposes being accomplished.


12Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
