Can a sinner be saved and yet not experience joy?

The sermon illustrates that even a believer can lose the joy of their salvation without losing their actual salvation. Referencing King David, who cried out for the restoration of the joy of God's salvation in Psalm 51:12, the speaker emphasizes that God's love for His children does not waver, even during times of disobedience. This reflects the teaching that true salvation is secure, yet the believer may find themselves lacking the joyful experience of that salvation due to personal sin or unbelief.
