PleasuresForEvermore.com was started to offer Christian views about our relationship to God. Or, from a different angle – what God thinks about us. In the King James Bible, from Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, Chapter 1, verse 20, Paul wrote that God has “set Him (Jesus) at His own right hand in the heavenly places”. Then Ephesians, Chapter 2, verse 6, Paul added, “and has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
In Psalms 16, verse 11, David wrote: “You (God) will show me the path of life: in Your Presence is fulness of joy; at Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
According to Ephesians, who is at God’s right hand? Jesus, and believers who have been raised up together and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus! What then, or who then, are the ‘pleasures for evermore’ as quoted in Psalm 16:11? We are! Now this could be a new thought for a lot of folks … to think that we are pleasures to God for evermore. If so, good! That’s part of our goal, to challenge the way we’ve been taught or thought, and to open our hearts to new revelations from God. Really, they are not new revelations … just what’s been there all along, but brought by a fresh wind from the Spirit of God.
