At any point in all of Eternity, we can say, “This is just the beginning.” How wonderful for those who are with Christ. How unimaginably dreadful for those who are not.

Heaven – Hell
December 3, 2014
I ask you who love Jesus—does religion ever make you unhappy? Does love to Jesus distress you and make you miserable? It may bring you into trouble, sometimes, and cause you to endure persecution for His name’s sake. If you are a child of God, you will have to suffer tribulation. But all the afflictions which you may be called upon to endure for Him will work for your good, and are not worthy to be compared with the glory which is to be revealed hereafter!

Jesus Christ is so precious that if Heaven and earth were put together, they could not buy another Savior. When God gave His Son to the world, He gave the best that Heaven had. Take Christ out of Heaven, and there is nothing for God to give. Christ was God’s All, for is it not written, “In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily”? Oh, precious gift of the whole of Deity in the Person of Christ!

More than 2 billion people who do not know Jesus head toward hell to perish for eternity, while the church laughs its way to hysteria, claiming this is the sign of the last days’ outpouring of the Holy Spirit … My brothers and sisters, this is not Christianity.”

If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

On that dear Cross my soul hangs all her confidence—not a rag anywhere else! … This is an essential mark of a Christian, that he sees Jesus with the simple faith that relies alone upon Him. Dear Hearer, do you in this respect see Jesus? If so, rest assured that where He is in His Glory, you shall shortly be! There is life in that look! There is more than life present—there is life eternal in a look at Him!

Hell is, in a certain sense, heaven devoid of Christ. In hell, you get what you want . . . and discover that it leaves you utterly unsatisfied. In heaven, all your wants are sanctified and reduced down to One singular desire: Christ.

Be ready to cut off everything that would hinder, and cast it from you. Be ready and willing to suffer the loss of possessions, of friends, of health – of all things on earth – so you may enter into the kingdom of heaven.

A Christian should always have one eye upon his end, and the other eye upon his way. That man lives a brutish life, who knows not what he lives for. And that man acts a fool’s part, who aims at heaven, and lives at random. The end for which a wise Christian lives is, that he may live without end; and therefore his way of living is, that he may live to spend his life continually in the ways of life. He is always walking in those paths in which he can see heaven before him. O my soul, what dost thou aim at? Is it a full enjoyment of thy God? Why then, whilst thou art present in the body, be always drawing near unto the Lord: so when thou shalt be absent from the body, thou shalt be always present with the Lord.
