A Christian's Happiness – Timothy Keller [Sermon]

Tim Keller sermons via Gospel in Life: Romans 8:28 is one of the most famous verses in the Bible. People love the thought that God works out all things for good for those who love Him. Yet, Romans 8:28 is intimately connected with Romans 8:29-30 where God promises to bodily resurrect those He has called. In other words, the Bible does not promise that Christians will have more pleasant circumstances in this life than non-Christians. The Bible promises a better life to come—not better life circumstances in this world.

This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on July 6, 1997.

"God doesn't promise you better life circumstances God promises you a better life"

[wayneniebling]

A great reminder Gods Joy is not dependent upon our circumstances

[twebible]

"Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. Jesus Christ suffered so that when you suffered you become more like him."
