What does the Bible say about true joy?

Answered in 1 source

True joy is found in the presence of God and reconciliation with Him through Christ.

The Bible teaches that true joy is deeply spiritual and is found in a reconciled relationship with God. In Psalm 16:11, David expresses that 'in Thy presence is fullness of joy,' indicating that joy is not merely the absence of pain but the presence of God. This concept aligns with Scripture's teachings that joy comes from knowing our sins are forgiven and being united with Christ. As believers, our joy is rooted in the covenant faithfulness of God and the realization of His promises.
