The Only Happiness With Which Our Souls Can Be Satisfied, by Jonathan Edwards.
In Your presence is fullness of joy. At your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
— Psalm 16:11
Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of Your presence.
— Psalm 21:6
Spiritual delight in God arises chiefly from His beauty and perfection—and not from the blessings which He gives us.
God is the highest good of the reasonable creature—and the enjoyment of Him is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied.
To go to Heaven, fully to enjoy God—is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here in this poor world. This is better than fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of any, or all earthly friends.
These are but shadows, the enjoyment of God is the substance.
These are but scattered beams, God is the sun.
These are but streams, God is the fountain.
These are but drops, God is the ocean.
The godly are destined for infinite and inconceivable happiness—for those who have Christ, have all that they need, and need no more.
We know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He really is.
— 1 John 3:2
I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far.
— Philippians 1:23
