On Being a Christian Hedonist

Passage: Psalm 37:4

God wants us to experience the delight of heaven here on earth. That’s why Jesus taught us to pray: “Thy Kingdom come and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” What is the kingdom of God? It is heaven. And what is heaven? It is a place where God’s presence is unhindered; so, it is a place of absolute joy and happiness. And Jesus taught us to pray that this Kingdom, which is full of absolute joy, would come here now to earth. Heaven, the presence of God, is not just a place we go to when we die, it is a place that we can begin to experience now. When we do experience the Kingdom and the presence of God, it is awesome. It will blow you away. It is the ultimate pleasure and happiness, and God calls us to pursue it full throttle.
