Should we as Christians have joy? If we are to have real joy, we must have God's holy spirit which God gives to those who obey Him. Ask God for true joy and learn to have joy during trials of life which test our character. Focusing on God's promise of salvation to those who overcome should strengthen us and help us to have genuine joy.
