How do we know that God takes pleasure in His people?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible explicitly states that the Lord takes pleasure in His people, affirming His affection and delight in them.

Psalm 149:4 declares, 'For the Lord takes pleasure in His people.' This profound statement reassures believers that God does not merely tolerate us; rather, He delights in us because of our relationship with Christ. It is in being united with Jesus that we find favor with God, as our standing before Him is based not on our righteousness but on Christ’s righteousness. This delight is not contingent upon our performance but is rooted in God’s sovereignty and love towards those He has chosen. Thus, understanding His pleasure in us helps to foster a deeper intimacy in our walk with Him.
