Answered in 1 source
The Bible says that the Lord rejoices in the conversion and salvation of His people, reflecting His joy in the work of redemption.
The Bible reveals the profound joy of the Lord in relation to the salvation of His people. In Proverbs 23:15, Solomon speaks of parental joy when a child's heart is wise, which mirrors the deeper joy Christ experiences when His people are saved. Hebrews 12:2 reinforces this by noting that for the joy set before Him, Christ endured the cross. This joy is not merely an emotional response but represents the fulfillment of God's redemptive work. Additionally, the parables in Luke 15 highlight that there is great rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents, illustrating God's immense love and joy when His lost sheep are brought home.
