A crown of blessings

Paul's conception of the Christian life is rich—one marked by joy and peace. But where do such joy and peace come from? From the God of hope. What do they involve? A delighting in and resting on the God of salvation as we know him in Christ, enjoyed by faith. What do joy and peace produce? Abounding hope through the power of the Holy Spirit, pointing us always toward the consummation of our hope.
