joy
that comes from God
"'Jesus
said, “If you obey My commands,
you will remain in My love,
just as I have obeyed My Father’s commands
and remain in His love.
I have told you this so that My joy
may be in you and that your joy
may be complete' (Jn. 15:10-11).
In this statement Jesus links
obedience and joy in a cause and effect manner;
that is, joy results from obedience.
Only those who are obedient –
who are pursuing holiness as a way of life –
will know the joy that comes from God."
