How do we know that God rejoices in His people?

Answered in 1 source

God's rejoicing in His people is asserted in scripture, emphasizing His covenant relationship and love for them.

Scripture provides clear evidence of God's joy in His people, particularly those who are united with Christ. In Zephaniah 3:17, it is stated that God will rejoice over His people with joy and rest in His love, illustrating His deep emotional investment in their well-being. Additionally, passages like Jeremiah 31:41 echo this sentiment, where God promises to rejoice in His people as a fulfilment of His covenant loyalty.

Moreover, in the New Testament context, God's joy in His people is echoed through the work of Christ and the Holy Spirit, who brings about salvation and fosters a relationship characterized by joy. As believers, understanding God's rejoicing in us encourages us to reciprocate that joy through worship and obedience. This reality assures us of our identity and value in Christ, rooted in the eternal love of God.
