Does it actually SAY that Heaven will be joyous in The Bible?
Upvote:3
The Bible does not say there will be infinite joy, but rather the absence of its opposite. Revelation 21:4 states:
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
The absence of death (cf. 1 Corinthians 15) and the absence of tears seems to indicate an abundance of joy. It isn't explicit, but it is pretty easy to extrapolate to that position.
