Chara shares a root with charis (grace): biblical joy is the glad response to God’s grace. It is not the same as happiness, which depends on what happens; joy can persist “in all our affliction” because its source is God himself.

Jesus speaks of his joy being “in you, that your joy may be full,” and James can even tell believers to “count it all joy” when trials come — not because pain is pleasant, but because God is at work through it. Joy is therefore a fruit the Spirit grows, not a mood we manufacture.
