What does the Bible say about the source of joy?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that true joy comes from understanding God's mercy and grace despite judgment.

In the book of Zephaniah, the message begins with God's coming judgment but ends with hope and joy for His people. The source of joy is deeply rooted in the knowledge that while God will judge the wicked and self-righteous, He has taken away the judgments of His people. This means those who believe in Christ can rejoice, as their sins have been forgiven through His sacrifice. The joy of the believer is interwoven with the grace that God extends towards His elect, assuring them that their judgment has already been paid by Christ. Hence, true joy is found in our redemption and relationship with God.
