Joy in God Himself
Commentators highlight that this verse represents a new peak in the Christian experience. The joy described is not merely in salvation or hope, but in God Himself—His character, attributes, and very being. As Albert Barnes notes, the believer rejoices that God is who He is. This is the ultimate result of reconciliation: delighting in God for His own sake.
