BE GLAD AND REJOICE / ZEPHANIAH 3:14-17

(KJV) Zephaniah 3:14-17

¹⁴ Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.

¹⁵ The Lord hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.

¹⁶ In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.

¹⁷ The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

God’s people have the greatest reason to rejoice because they have obtained spiritual salvation – their personal relationship with God. True, heartfelt joy is not natural; it is a supernatural response to God’s activity in our lives. We have joy because:

1. We are forgiven and no longer face punishment for our sins (Zephaniah 3:15).
2. Our enemy has been defeated – we are set free from the power of Satan and sin (Zephaniah 3:15).
3. God is with us, giving friendship, grace and help throughout our lives (Zephaniah 3:15-17; Hebrews 4:16).
4. We are the focus of God’s love and delight (Zephaniah 3:17).

Everyone who accepts the gift of forgiveness and eternal life made available through God’s Son, Jesus, has every reason to rejoice (Ephesians 1:17-18; 3:16-20). Our joy will reach its climax, or highest level, and be complete when God reveals His full glory and majesty on the earth at the end of time (Isaiah 35:1-10)
