Excerpt from Meet for Heaven: A State of Grace Upon Earth the Only Preparation for a State of Glory in Heaven

Some Christians have a lofty View of heaven, as the Holy of Holies in God's great creation, and of the high qualifications in grace here that are needed to prepare us for its habitation of holiness, of love, and of peace; but, along with this, they cherish the too common and seductive belief, that death will eject, when it comes to them, not a mere transition and im provement, but something like an entire change on the spiritual and moral condition of their souls. I am led to Show that such an anticipation is not only wrong, but dangerous.

Personal Christianity consists, not merely in the adoption of a creed or In an outward profession, but In a habitual looking to Jesus for the grace which the Father hath treasured up in him, in such abundance, for the supply of all our spiritual wants, and for the example how we who are Christians should live in the world. I have accordingly, in the following chap ters, viewed Christ's life upon earth as the example of what our life here ought to be, and Christ now in a state of glory in heaven as the pattern of what we are yet to he. Thus I have attempted to exhibit the Lord Jesus as all and all, both in a state of grace and in a state of glory.
