Heaven – Hell
An eternity of holiness – JC Ryle
We could not be happy if we reached the kingdom of glory with a heart loving sin. The company of saints and angels would give us no pleasure. Our minds would not be in tune for an eternity of holiness. Let these things sink down into your hearts. We must repent as well as believe, if we hope to be saved.

Forever with the Lord – Archbishop Usher
When Peter saw Moses and Elijah with Christ in his transfiguration, though he had but a glimpse of glory, yet he says “It is good for us to be here.” But Oh! How infinitely good it will be to be in heaven. How shall we then be rapt up with glory, when we shall be forever with the Lord!
