We are continuing this week with our brief study on the words joy and rejoicing from the book of Philippians. This is a book in which the Apostle Paul expresses joy and rejoicing throughout. He speaks of rejoicing in the day of Christ. As mentioned in our last post, Biblical joy is not a fleeting feeling of happiness. It is also not a “good feeling” because something good just happened or things in your life are going well. Instead, joy refers to the “extreme happiness with which the believer contemplates salvation and the bliss of the afterlife.”
