St. Paul says that the kingdom of God is a matter 'of righteousness, peace and
joy in the Holy Spirit' (Romans 14:7). Where Christ's righteousness is laid hold
of, there is peace of conscience, and where there is peace of conscience, there
is a profound joy.
Matthew C. Harrison,
A Little Book on Joy, (Concordia
Publishing House, St. Louis, 2011), pp. 46-47.
