The Joy of a Saved Soul

Multiple commentators, especially Charles Spurgeon, highlight that the joy and peace in this verse are the direct results of responding to God's call. When you accept God's forgiveness and are reconciled to Him, you 'go out' from a state of spiritual bondage. This inner transformation is the source of profound joy, changing your entire perspective on the world.
