Joy is the Greek word <em data-start=\"276\" data-end=\"283\">chara<\/em> in the New Testament.

It is a source of strength that produces godly character, as <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Nehemiah<\/span><\/span> declared: \u201cThe joy of the Lord is your strength\u201d (Neh. 8:10).<\/p><p data-start=\"601\" data-end=\"843\">Joy is the result of a relationship with Christ.

Only through the power of the Holy Spirit.<\/p><p data-start=\"1620\" data-end=\"2022\">As those who represent the Lord in this world, we are to remember that \u201cthe kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit\u201d (Rom. 14:17). This verse reminds us that these three qualities\u2014righteousness, peace, and joy\u2014are to be evident in our lives as followers of Jesus Christ, and all three can only be displayed through the power of the Holy Spirit.<\/p><p data-start=\"2024\" data-end=\"2344\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">I have seen individuals who exuded this joy even while passing through deep waters.
