How do we know that God provides joy to His people?

The assurance of joy provided by God is firmly rooted in His promises throughout Scripture. Believers are assured that God has entered into an everlasting covenant, guaranteeing joy in Christ regardless of present circumstances. In Philippians 1:6, Paul expresses confidence in God's work within believers, affirming that He will complete it, which inherently brings joy. Additionally, our understanding of God's faithfulness to maintain His promises bolsters our confidence that, even in hardship, joy can be found through faith in Christ.
