Christ’s death is the Christian’s life. Christ’s cross is the Christian’s title to heaven.

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.

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.

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.

Mandatory Holiness – Elisabeth Elliot
Holiness has never been the driving force of the majority. It is, however, mandatory for anyone who wants to enter the kingdom.

My plans are made – Reepicheep
My owns plans are made. While I can, I sail east in the Dawn Treader. When she fails me, I paddle east in my coracle. When she sinks, I shall swim east with my four paws. And when I can swim no longer, if I have not reached Aslan’s country, or shot over the edge of the world in some vast cataract, I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise.

Set your mind on heaven – DL Moody
If people would but read their Bibles more, and study what there is to be found there about heaven, they would not be as worldly-minded as they are. They would not have their hearts set upon things down here, but would seek the imperishable things above.
