Pleasure Principle in the Bible - study notes by Christopher Klinges

1. Appreciating the Lord’s perspective on it. Full of promise.

2. Man’s approach to pleasure apart from the Lord falls short, and is not promising.

3. Action toward finding pleasure in the Lord and what pleases Him motivated by grace from Him.

4. Satisfaction in union with the Lord. (John 17:21-24 “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 

And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.”
