Book Description
Excerpt from Heaven or the Glory to Be Revealed Eternity has ever held consuming interest for the writer. From childhood it has fascinated him. But since conversion there has, of course, been a deeper and more spiritual love for the subject. Indifference to it he has never been able to understand. Years ago we listened to one declare that God is averse to man thinking about heaven; that he has a work to do, and should, apart from eternal considerations, abandon himself to it. While agreeing perfectly with the idea of absolute abandonment to our work, we were unable to understand how thought of eternity could deleteriously affect such abandonment. Thought of hell ought to move us to snatch men as brands from its awful burning. Thought of heaven should set our hearts aflame with desire to share its glorious life and rewards. It seemed strange then, and it seems strange now, that God, if there be no high purpose to serve, should have so* much to say about eternity in His Word.
