Joy

God's desire is that we have Eternal Joy!

Heaven is the sanctuary of Eternal Joy.

Heaven is preserved forever, for the sake of our Joy.

God is Love. You could therefore say: "Love's goal is our Joy".

To have Joy we must be safe from all: oppression, fear, confusion,

negativity, depression, and anything that harms Joy.

Therefore, God must protect us from all these harmful things that affect our Joy.

Thus, God's goal is our Eternal Joy, but the means to this goal is our Eternal Protection.

That is why Jesus came down and sanctified Himself. That we might have protection from all these harmful things, WITHIN HIM. He is our Eternal Protective Sanctuary.

God did this because He is Love. And He Loves us with Infinite Love.
