Joy is essential in the Christian life. It is the evidence that we are truly born again. Nehemiah chapter 8 verse 10 says that “the joy of the Lord is our strength.” We need the joy of the Lord to witness for Him. Joy shows unsaved people that it is worthwhile to know Jesus. He is the power for our service.
Joy and willing obedience go together. When you enjoy doing something or when you enjoy the person for whom you’re doing it, you serve willingly.
God intends that you rejoice in your salvation. Confess your sins. Then look to Jesus Christ, not yourself. When you look to Jesus Christ, you will rediscover the joy of His salvation. Make sure your life is free from sin, And then ask Him to restore your joy.
