You cannot please God if you do not come to him for reward

Every Sunday at 11 A.M., Hebrews 11:6 enters combat with popular conceptions of selfless virtue. "And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him." You cannot please God if you do not come to Him for reward! Therefore, worship that pleases God is the hedonistic pursuit of God. He is our exceedingly great reward! In His presence is fullness of joy, and at His right hand are pleasures forevermore. Being satisfied with all God is for us in Jesus is the essence of the authentic experience of worship. Worship is the feast of Christian Hedonism.The Dangerous Duty of Delight. John Piper.
