How do we know that joy comes from God?

Answered in 1 source

Joy comes from God as a result of the Holy Spirit's work in believers' lives.

The Bible clearly illustrates that joy is a gift produced by the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers, as noted in Romans 15:13, where it states that God fills us with joy and peace in believing. This divine joy is not of our own making; rather, it is rooted in our relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Being connected to Christ creates a wellspring of joy that reflects His presence and work in our lives, leading us to recognize that true joy is beyond mere happiness. It is a steadfast assurance stemming from God's promises and character.
