"And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full." - I John 1:4
We believers in Christ have a great peace in that the entire Bible, and specifically the first book of John, was written for us. It gives us life in the gospel of Jesus Christ. It gives us comfort in being reminded that we have fellowship with God though the world hates us. And it gives us joy in Jesus who has overcome the world.
God has preserved His holy Scripture in love that we may know Him. We can always find comfort and strength in what God has revealed to us in written Word. Reading the Bible consistently is a key part of the fellowship we have in God, and our joy will not be full without it.
There aren't many things which bring more joy than a marriage and the birth of a child. These are shadows to what believers experience spiritually with Christ. At the moment of conversion we see ourselves fully incapable and Christ fully capable. We trust that His righteousness has covered our unrighteousness. At that time we are birthed into new life in spirit through faith. And in that new life we are wed to our glorious Savior. He cares for our needs and watches us grow in His love. Truly, there is no greater joy than that which is given by Jesus both in this life and the one to come!
Consider also: Psalm 12:6,7; Psalm 16:11
