Apparently, it is as much a matter of choice to serve God with gladness as it is to serve Him in the first place . There fore, emotions must be subject to our will. In the same way we choose to be saved, we choose to serve God cheerfully. These are both eternal. Since we possess both and are created in God's image, God must also have a soul.
Emotions are part of the soul and thus are eternal.
We will possess a sense of humor, experience joy and laughter, and worship God with gladness of heart throughout eternity. Since we are created in God's image, God must also have emotions. This is certainly true in the Scriptures. Anyone who has been around animals, especially pets, knows that animals also have emotions. So we can see that this attribute of God is found everywhere around us.
