How do we know that God desires our happiness?

God's deep-seated desire for human happiness is articulated through the provision of Christ as a sin substitute. The happiness preached in the modern world often misconstrues this by focusing on material or emotional benefits. However, the sovereignty of God reveals that true contentment stems from a right relationship with Him, which is grounded in the atonement of Christ. Those who are forgiven and justified experience a profound sense of satisfaction, indicating God's intention for their happiness. It's clear in Scriptures that this happiness is meant to be spiritual, deriving from the acknowledgment of one's sin and the embrace of divine grace.
