“We do not want to go to heaven alone; we are most anxious to lead others to the Saviour.”
Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing wonder and awe, the more often and the more seriously reflection concentrates upon them: the starry heaven above me and the moral law within me.
—Immanuel Kant

He who has felt that Face of beauty,
Which wakes the world’s great hymn,
For one unutterable moment
Bent in love o’er him,
In that look finds earth, heaven, men and angels
Grow nearer through Him.

The Church lives in a hostile world. The power of the Holy Spirit is, therefore, not optional but necessary. Without it the children of God simply cannot live the life of heaven on earth.

The Kingdom of God will include everything in heaven and on earth. By the blood of the cross, Christ has reconciled all things to himself and thus to each other (Col. 1:20). Under him as the Head, everything will be gathered into one and recapitulated in him (Eph. 1:10).
—Herman Bavinck

Are you contented to embrace all corrections from the hand of God for the killing of the remainders of sin in you? If you will be for Christ, you must submit to Christ’s: It is in vain to say, If I can travel to heaven without meeting a storm in the way, I am willing to go
—John Flavel
My sin may be as high as the highest mountain, but the sacrifice that covers it is as high as the highest heaven; my guilt may be as deep as the ocean, but the atonement that swallows it up is as deep as eternity.
—R. A. Torrey
Faith is an outward look, not an inward look. A great many people are looking at their feelings, a great many people are looking down here. Don’t be looking at your feelings, but look at heaven; and if you have got the right kind of Christ, you will have the right kind of faith.
—D. L. Moody
When we get near heaven, earth’s treasures and earth’s cares look very small and trifling.
—D. L. Moody
When an eagle is happy in an iron cage,
when a sheep is happy in water,
when an owl is happy in the blaze of the noonday sun,
when a fish is happy on dry land;
then, and not till then, will I admit that
an unholy man could be happy in Heaven.
J.C. Ryle
Man’s spiritual deadness is such, that he can no more move toward Heaven, so much as one step, than a dead man can rise of himself.

Better to go to Heaven alone
than to Hell with the herd.

until then may the God of all grace be our helper.”
