God designed and gave us our taste buds, adrenaline, sex drives, and the nerve endings that convey pleasure to our brains. What’s true is that our desire for pleasure and the experience of joy come directly from God’s hand. Our belief that Heaven will be boring betrays a heresy-that God is boring. Conversely, outside of God’s presence, there is no joy. David wrote, “In Your presence is fullness of joy at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” ( Psalm 16:11, NKJV). Without God, there’s nothing interesting to do. Everything good, enjoyable, refreshing, fascinating, and interesting originates with God. Hell is a place of torment and isolation, where friendship and good times don’t exist. That could happen on the New Earth, but not in Hell. People sometimes say, “I’d rather be having a good time in Hell than be bored out of my mind in Heaven.” Many imagine Hell as a place where they’ll hang around and shoot pool and joke with friends.
