We don’t seek to escape this life by dreaming of heaven. But we do find we can endure this life because of the certainty of heaven. Heaven is eternal. Earth is temporal.

– John MacArthur

Holiness | Heaven

Our earthly possessions will indeed perish in the final wreck of all things; but let the ship perish, let all we have sink in the deep, if we may come “safe to land.” From these storms and billows–these dangerous seas–these tempestuous voyages–may we all be brought at last safe to heaven.
– Albert Barnes

Multitudes of people who expect to go to Heaven will go to a Hell of torment. Thousands of “good” people, “moral” people, church members, even church workers – yes, and, alas, even prophets, priests and preachers – will find themselves lost when they expected to be saved, condemned when they expected approval, cast out of Heaven when they expected to be received into eternal bliss. That is the explicit meaning of the words of our Lord… [Spoken in Matthew 7:21-23.]
– John R. Rice
Heaven | Hell

– Jonathan Edwards
Heaven | Music

We all profess that we are bound for heaven, immortality, and glory: but is it any evidence that we really design it if all our thoughts are consumed about the trifles of this world, which we must leave behind us, and have only occasional thoughts of things above?

Heaven

The social gospelers are so obsessed with this-worldliness that other-worldliness (is) laughed at, and next-worldliness is rated low. It is as though it were sinful to talk about heaven on earth. Thank God, there is still a band of us pilgrims who have gotten out, who are going on, and who are happy to be getting home.
– Vance Havner
Heaven | Worldliness

Heaven

We must learn to live on the heavenly side and look at things from above. To contemplate all things as God sees them, as Christ beholds them, overcomes sin, defies Satan, dissolves perplexities, lifts us above trials, separates us from the world and conquers fear of death.

– J. C. Ryle
Heaven

The entrance fee into the kingdom of heaven is nothing: the annual subscription is everything.
– Henry Drummond
Heaven | Surrender

Poor souls are apt to think that all those whom they read of or hear of to be gone to heaven, went thither because they were so good and so holy. Yet not one of them, not any man that is now in heaven (Jesus Christ alone accepted), did ever come thither any other way but by forgiveness of sins. And that will also bring us higher, though we come short of many of them in holiness and grace.
– John Owen
Heaven | Salvation

– Samuel Rutherford

– Dwight L. Moody
Heaven

Answering a student’s question, ‘Will the heathen who have not heard the Gospel be saved?’ thus, It is more a question with me whether we, who have the Gospel and fail to give it to those who have not, can be saved.

God keeps no half-way house. It’s either heaven or hell for you and me.
– Billy Sunday
Heaven | Hell

Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for.
– Elisabeth Elliot
Heaven

If heaven were by merit, it would never be heaven to me, for if I were in it I should say, “I am sure I am here by mistake; I am sure this is not my place; I have no claim to it.” But if it be of grace and not of works, then we may walk into heaven with boldness.
– Charles Spurgeon
Heaven | Grace

– J. C. Ryle
Heaven

And let me tell you, the more labor you have put forth for the Kingdom of heaven, the more degrees of glory you shall have. As there are degrees of torment in hell, so of glory in heaven (Matthew 23:14). As one star differeth from another in glory, so shall one saint (1 Corinthians 15:41). Though every vessel of mercy shall be full, yet one may hold more than another.
– Thomas Watson
Heaven

You will not be in heaven two seconds before you cry out, why did I place so much importance on things that were so temporary? What was I thinking? Why did I waste so much time, energy and concern on what wasn’t going to last?
– Rick Warren

Gratitude to God makes even a temporal blessing a taste of heaven.
