Joy's Unchanging Source
Commentators emphasize that this joy is not based on circumstances but is found "in the Lord." Scholars like Spurgeon and Barnes note that because God is unchanging, joy in Him is a constant and stable wellspring. This spiritual gladness is a direct result of understanding who God is and what He has done, particularly in forgiving sin.
