Christian Hedonism

"Without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him." You cannot please God if you do not come to Him as rewarder. Therefore, worship which pleases God is the hedonistic pursuit of God in whose presence is fullness of Joy and in whose hand are pleasures forevermore (Ps. 16:11).
