In the following Scriptures joy fills Heaven when a sinner repents, conversely is there great sorrow when an unsaved rejects salvation?
score:3
Accepted answer
Your question is mainly based on scripture, and I'm assuming you are looking for an answer also mainly from scripture.
There is no pleasure in the death of the wicked:
Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord God, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live? Ezekiel 18:23, ESV
Say to them, As I live, declares the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die, O house of Israel? Ezekiel 33:11, ESV
There may be laughter however, but not the kind that indicates joy:
-
He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. Psalm 2:4, ESV
