In verse 3 of III John, the Elder states “For I rejoiced greatly, when the brothers came and testified to the truth you hold, just as you walk in the truth.” He was joyous of Gaius’s spiritual condition. That’s because true joy springs from God’s eternal Word.
There is joy in the Word: Jer 15:16!
There is joy in the Holy Ghost: Ac 13:52, Ro 14:17
There is joy in the hope of the glory of God: Ro 5:2
