For the Christian, joy is a deep-seated belief of the heart that trusts God regardless of the circumstances. It’s connected to faith knowing that He is in control and working everything in your life for good. It’s knowing that He always loves you. It’s knowing that this life is short, and thanks to the work of Christ, you will be with Him for all of eternity. It’s knowing that even your worst times are under the sovereign dominion of God, producing in you your greatest goal – Christlikeness. Therefore, the pursuit of joy in Christ is commanded in the Bible. It’s even produced in us by the power of the Holy Spirit. Our greatest joy will always be in Christ. And when we reach this pinnacle, God will be most glorified in us.
