Happy Christians

Octavious Winslow

“Christ came to take away our sins, to roll off our curse, to unbind our chains, to open our prison house, to cancel our debt; in a word, to give us the oil of joy for the mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. I s not this joy? The believer in Jesus is essentially a happy man. The Child of God is essentially a happy man. His sins are forgiven, his soul is justified, his person is adopted, his trials are blessings, his conflicts are victories, his death is immortality his future is a heaven of inconceivable, unthought-of, untold, and endless blessedness. With such a God, with such a Saviour, and such a hope, is he not, ought he not, to be a joyful man?”
