Don’t let anyone steal your joy Bible verses

Psalm 16:11

“You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

“Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and Make Our home with him.’”

You should therefore be joyful at all times because, after getting saved, you remain in God’s presence forevermore.

“You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence.”

Another reason why the people of God must walk in joy is because He has made known to them the way that leads to life eternal.
