Christian Hedonism is the conviction that God’s ultimate goal in the world (his glory) and our deepest desire (to be happy) are one and the same, because God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him. Not only is God the supreme source of satisfaction for the human soul, but God himself is glorified by our being satisfied in him. Therefore, our pursuit of joy in him is essential. Christian Hedonism claims that the Christian life should be the pursuit of maximum joy in God—joy both in quality and quantity. Fullness of joy and joy forevermore (Psalm 16:11) are found only in him.
