Answers
We have a question today from a listener named Brent. “Hello Pastor John, I want to first say thank you for your ministry and for this podcast. You have helped me grow deeper in my love for our Savior and helped me know more of what his word says to us. Thank you! On to my question. I have read countless times in God’s word that God is where we will find fullness of joy, but I don’t know what fullness of joy looks like practically. I don’t know if I have ever experienced ‘fullness of joy’ in God. What is it and how would I know it when I saw it?”
I love questions like this because they make me do what ought to have been done a long time ago; namely, just pause over phrases and words that we use so often and see if I can identify biblical meanings, definitions, content, so that we don’t just throw around our favorite phrases.
Here are a couple of verses that include that really good phrase, “fullness of joy” or “joyful.” Psalm 16:11 is in my DNA, I hope: “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Or in John 15:11 Jesus says, “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”
