What does the Bible say about happiness for God's people?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible states that God's people are blessed and happy because they are saved by the Lord (Deuteronomy 33:29).

In Deuteronomy 33:29, Moses declares, "Happy art thou, O Israel, who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord." This signifies that true happiness for God's people originates from their salvation. Their joy is not reliant on worldly circumstances, but rather on the divine favor and love of God extended toward them. The ultimate reason for their happiness is Christ's redemptive work at Calvary, which assures them of eternal joy and salvation, making them a unique and blessed community among the world's multitudes.
