Overview
God invites His people to experience profound joy through His redemptive work and restoration. True joy flows from understanding God's sovereign care and the reality of His saving grace. This joy is especially evident when the lost are found and the broken are restored.
Key Scriptures

"And Jesus said to him, 'Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost'" (Luke 19:9-10, ESV).
"Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents" (Luke 15:10, ESV).
Application
