“Now to the one who is able to guard you from stumbling and to set you unblemished in the sight of his glory with great joy,

Jude 24,

8. In line with Jude 24, what indicates that there is joy in heaven when one of the anointed proves his integrity?

⁸ Certainly, faithful anointed Christians want to be safeguarded against individually stumbling into destruction. Their Bible-based hope is that Jesus Christ will resurrect them from the dead, allowing them to appear in spiritual perfection before the presence of God with great joy. When one of the anointed dies faithful, it is with the sure prospect of being “raised up a spiritual body,” resurrected “in incorruption . . . , in glory.” (1 Cor. 15:42-44) If there is much “joy in heaven over one sinner that repents,” imagine the joy in the heavenly courts when one of Christ’s spirit-begotten brothers finishes a life course of integrity. (Luke 15:7) Jehovah and the faithful spirit creatures will rejoice along with the anointed one then receiving his reward “with great joy.”​—Read 1 John 3:2.
