If a man had to wade breast deep through a thousand hells to obtain Christ–it would be well worth the venture, if at the last he might but say, “My Beloved is mine–and I am His!”

Heaven – Hell
February 27, 2013
Evil can be undone, but it cannot ‘develop into good.’ Time does not heal it. The spell must be unwound, bit by bit, ‘with backward mutters of dissevering power’–or else not. It still ‘either-or’. If we insist on keeping Hell (or even Earth) we shall not see Heaven: if we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell.

The time is so short, such a little time to rescue souls from hell, for there will be no rescue work in heaven.

Jesus gave both His hands to the nails; how can I keep back one of mine from this blessed work? Night and day He toiled and prayed for me; how can I give a single hour to selfish indulgence? Up, idle heart; stretch out thy hand to work, or uplift it to pray: heaven and hell are in earnest; LET ME BE SO…

One of the most amazing things Jesus said is that at the judgment seat, preachers are going to say, “I cast out devils,” and Jesus will say, “I never knew you.”

If you insist on keeping hell, (or even earth) you will never see heaven. If you accept heaven you will not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell.

One cannot save and then pitchfork souls into heaven…Souls are more or less securely fastened to bodies…and as you cannot get the souls out and deal with them separately, you have to take them both together.

The purpose of God isn’t to save us from Hell. The purpose of God is to make us like Christ.
