I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth,.. Luke 15:7
"The church of God below is one with the church of God above.
Believers on the earth and the beings in heaven who have never fallen constitute one church.
Every heavenly intelligence is interested in the assemblies of the saints who on earth meet to worship God. In the inner court of heaven they listen to the testimony of the witnesses for Christ in the outer court on earth, and the praise and thanksgiving from the worshipers below is taken up in the heavenly anthem, and praise and rejoicing sound through the heavenly courts because Christ has not died in vain for the fallen sons of Adam."
