A condition of great happiness coming from righteous living. The purpose of mortal life is for all people to have joy (2 Ne. 2: 22-25). A full joy will come only through Jesus Christ (John 15: 11; D&C 93: 33-34; 101: 36).

The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, Isa. 29: 19 (2 Ne. 27: 30). I bring you good tidings of great joy, Luke 2: 10. Your joy no man taketh away from you, John 16: 22. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, Gal. 5: 22.

The fruit thereof filled my soul with exceedingly great joy, 1 Ne. 8: 12. Men are that they might have joy, 2 Ne. 2: 25. The joy of the righteous shall be full forever, 2 Ne. 9: 18. They may dwell with God in a state of neverending happiness, Mosiah 2: 41. I will give up all that I possess that I may receive this great joy, Alma 22: 15. Perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance, and this is my joy, Alma 29: 9. What joy, and what marvelous light I beheld, Alma 36: 20. My Spirit shall fill your soul with joy, D&C 11: 13. How great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father, D&C 18: 15-16. In this world your joy is not full, but in me your joy is full, D&C 101: 36. In this life I shall have joy, Moses 5: 10-11.
