This is that which makes heaven to be heaven, “We shall be ever with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

The way to be saved is simply to trust in what the Son of man did when He became man, and suffered punishment for all those who trust Him. For all His people, Christ was a Substitute. His people are those who trust Him. If you trust Him, he was punished for your sins; and you cannot be punished for them, for God cannot punish sin twice, first in Christ, and then in you. If you trust Jesus, who now liveth at the right hand of God, you are this moment pardoned, and you shall forever be saved.
– Charles Spurgeon –
from The Soul Winner
There is no rowing to paradise except upon the stream of repenting tears. Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet.
– Thomas Watson –
The evangelist who preaches for eternity is never great on numbers. He is not apt to count hundreds of converts where there is no restitution, no confession, and no glad cry which proclaims, “The lost is found, the dead is made alive again!”

There are only two days on my calendar…today and the day of judgment.
– Martin Luther –
The attitude of the average Christian today is relax and be raptured. But He is coming … and when God gets angry you’ve no idea what it is. Like a thousand volcanoes exploding. He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world and the poor blind world doesnt know much about it and the poor blind church doesnt think much about it now.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
Learn to hold loosely all that is not eternal.
– AM Royden –
Eternity to the godly is a day that has no sunset; eternity to the wicked is a night that has no sunrise.
– Thomas Watson –
A person repents when he comes to the place where he discovers that the will of God is the government of his life and the glory of God is the reason for his life. He only has repented who has changed his mind about his reason for being.
