“When God cut an agreement with you at salvation, you exchanged your life for His. Your mediocrity was traded for explosions of joy. God never intended that you trade the pleasures of this life for stale, stoic religion. You have been invited into a covenant of experiential love through the intoxicating wine of Christ’s blood and the heaven-rending, broken bread of His body. “Your covenant, like that cut with Abraham, should bring others into envy at the prospect of your spiritual delights: Said the Eternal to Abram, “Leave your country, leave your kindred, leave your father’s house, for a land that I will show you; I will make a great nation of you and bless you and make you famous for your bliss; those who bless you, I will bless, and anyone who curses you I will curse, till all nations of the world seek bliss such as yours” (Genesis 12:1-3 Moffatt). Christ is the Desire of all nations. All crave Him, whether they realize it or not. All that we do to pursue vain pleasure in this life is merely an unrealized wandering for the forgotten paths of Eden. Those who meet the Source of pleasure begin to manifest this enthralling fragrance to the envy of all nations. You become known for your happiness. Few people care to know religion that brings death, but all of humanity longs to know the true inheritance that is yours in Christ. “Thou art what I obtain from life, O thou Eternal, thou thyself art my share; fair prospects are allotted me, a blissful heritage is mine… (Psalm 16:6 Moffatt). God holds nothing back from you. You are an insider. You have access to all His goodness. All of His treasuries are now yours. All of His secrets are at your disposal, even as He held nothing back from Abraham: Abraham went to escort them, and the Eternal thought, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am going to do, seeing that Abraham is to become a large and powerful nation, and that all the nations of the world are to seek bliss like his?” (Genesis 18:17-18 Moffatt). The covenant Christ has cut with you is absolutely ridiculous. It makes no sense to the natural mind. The nations of the world will not be drawn to your moral stance on the issues. It is not your right-wing politics that will entice them, nor will they be lured by your ability to articulate doctrine” The bliss. This is what will compel a sea of lost humanity. Supernatural pleasures forevermore. We need not wait for the sweet by and by to experience this otherworldly intoxication. The pact has already been made. We can eat our fattened calf today in the sweet now and now. Happy is he whom thus Thou choosest to dwell in Thy courts, close to Thee. Fain would we have our fill of this, Thy house, Thy sacred shrine—it’s bliss! (Psalm 65:4 Moffatt)” THIS IS SOME DARN GOOD NEWS!!!! HAHA!
