It’s good to know the bible defined boundaries, so we don’t transgress in the place of being joyful.

  • God’s Goodness is the indisputable reason for joy and such joy stems from recognizing the good things of life as gifts from God, from the beauty of creation to the joy of fellowship.
  • The spiritual state of being a child of God, marked by peace, righteousness, and an indwelling Holy Spirit. Believing in and knowing Jesus as Lord is a continuing source of joy to believers.
  • As believers mature through tests and trials, we can (a choice that we make) experience joy from risking for God’s Kingdom, even when it involves vulnerability and trust.

We see from these that biblical joy is distinct from mere happiness or pleasure; it is a deep, inner gladness that can coexist with sorrow or pain. Such joy is often presented as a gift of God’s Spirit, not something that can be forced or manufactured. It is persistent and unquenchable: True spiritual joy, unlike fleeting happiness, is a lasting state that cannot be stolen by circumstances.

Finally, the joy of the Lord can (again a choice) provide strength, helping believers to persevere through trials and adversity. Selah.
