How does the concept of happiness relate to true Israel?

Answered in 1 source

The happiness of true Israel stems from their unique relationship with God, who saves and cherishes them, granting them rest and joy.

Moses in Deuteronomy 33:29 expresses the profound happiness of Israel, reflecting the deep joy found in being a chosen people saved by the Lord. This happiness is not derived from worldly circumstances or possessions but from the assurance of God's love and the salvation He provides. True Israel understands that their joy is rooted in being reconciled to God through Christ, possessing a hope that transcends temporal struggles. Recognizing that their identity is grounded in divine grace allows them to exhibit a joy that is steadfast and unshakeable, regardless of life's challenges. Such happiness is a testimony to their secure position before God and ultimately points to the unique status they hold among all peoples.
