| What makes heaven? Not its
jewelled walls and pearl gate and streets of golden pave and sea of glass
and river of crystal, but its blessed obedience, its sweet holiness, its
universal and unbroken accord with the divine will, and its spirit of
love. Heaven never can be entered by any in whose hearts the spirit of
heaven is not first found. Heaven must be in us, or we can never enter its
gates. We are prepared for heaven, made meet for the inheritance of the
saints, therefore, just in the measure in which we have learned to do
God's will here on earth as it is done by angels and saints in that home
of divine glory. Luke 17:21: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. (KJV) |
