Cowards never won heaven. Do not claim that you are begotten of God and you have His royal blood running in your veins unless you can prove your lineage by His heroic spirit: to dare to be holy in spite of men and devils.

Heaven – Hell
God uses affliction to … – JC Ryle
By affliction, Christ . . .
shows us our emptiness and weakness,
draws us to the throne of grace,
purifies our affections,
weans us from the world,
and makes us long for Heaven.
– JC Ryle –
What you need to know about heaven – Charles Spurgeon
You need not to know much about Heaven – it is where Christ is, and that is Heaven enough for us.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Christ’s death is the Christian life – JC Ryle
Christ’s death is the Christian’s life. Christ’s cross is the Christian’s title to heaven.
– JC Ryle –
Understanding truth too late – JC Ryle
Hell is truth known too late!

Crowned with perfection – Thomas Watson
In that Heavenly kingdom, the saints are crowned with perfection!
– Thomas Watson –
Full of joy – Thomas Watson
The sea is not so full of water—as the soul of a glorified saint is full of joy. There can be no sorrow in Heaven—as there can be no joy in Hell.
– Thomas Watson –
Saved for more than heaven – Leonard Ravenhill
Without holiness, no one shall see the Lord. Jesus didn’t die to save us from hell. That’s a fringe benefit! He died to get total occupation of us. To be holy in speech … in actions … in everything.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
Chief Dangers – William Booth
I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.
