Quotes about: Heaven

  Jonathan Edwards

  Heaven, Accommodations, Enjoy

  Jonathan Edwards (2013). “A Journey Toward Heaven: A Daily Devotional from the Sermons of Jonathan Edwards”, Reformation Heritage Books

• God is the highest good of the reasonable creature. The enjoyment of him is our proper; and is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Better than fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of any, or all earthly friends. These are but shadows; but the enjoyment of God is the substance. These are but scattered beams; but God is the sun. These are but streams; but God is the fountain. These are but drops, but God is the ocean.
