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.

from Heaven, page 10
One hour in Heaven will make us forget all our sorrows! As the sun dries up the water, so one beam of God’s glorious face will dry up all our tears!
– Thomas Watson –
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.
– JC Ryle –
from Expository Thoughts on the Gospels, 1856
Heaven will make amends for all!
– Thomas Watson –
He only can truly pray who is all aglow for holiness, for God, and for heaven.
– EM Bounds –
Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.
– Andrew Murray –
The devil wants to obscure the doctrine of the new earth. He doesn’t want people to look forward to being with Christ.
– Randy Alcorn –
Only heaven will reveal the incredibly complex intertwining of events in which you have played a pivotal role.
– Joni Eareckson Tada –
The chief danger of the 20th century will be religion without the Holy Spirit, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.
