How’s your joy? Jesus is eternally joyful and offers us his joy as we stay close to him. Paul lists it as a Fruit of the Spirit. So what is Christian joy? It’s a gladness of heart that comes from knowing God personally. It’s produced by the Holy Spirit as he causes us to see Jesus’ glory and beauty in the Word of God and in the world. Jesus offers you and even prayed that you might receive his own joy, and it will grow in you as you learn to stay close to him.
