Sin is horrible because it is an affront to God;
Salvation is wonderful because it brings glory to God;
Heaven is glorious because it is the place where God is all in all;
Hell is infernal because it is where God manifests His righteous wrath.
God is central to all of those truths.
We are enamored with God.
We are overwhelmed by His majesty, His holiness, and His grace.
We seek His glory, desire His presence, and model our lives after Him.
Jonathan Edwards said:
"The enjoyment of God 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. Fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of earthly friends, are but shadows; but God is the substance. These are but scattered beams, but God is the Sun. There are but streams, but God is the fountain. These are but drops, but God is the ocean."
- "Living for God's Glory" by Joel R. Beeke
