"Our substance here is very unsubstantial. But God has given us a promise of real estate in the glory-land, and that promise comes to our hearts with such certainty that we know in ourselves that we have an enduring substance there. Yes, we have it even now. We have the title deed of heaven, we have the earnest of it, we have the first fruits of it. We have heaven in price, promise, and in principle.
Should not that thought console you in present losses? Our finances we may lose, but our treasure is safe; for our Savior lives, and the place that He has prepared for us abides. There is a better land, a better substance, a better promise; and all this comes to us by a better covenant. So let us be in better spirits, and say unto the Lord, "Every day will I bless You; and praise Your name forever.""
Real Estate in Heaven
Knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven.
~ Hebrews 10:34
"Our substance here is very unsubstantial. But God has given us a promise of real estate in the glory-land, and that promise comes to our hearts with such certainty that we know in ourselves that we have an enduring substance there. Yes, we have it even now. We have the title deed of heaven, we have the earnest of it, we have the first fruits of it. We have heaven in price, promise, and in principle.
Should not that thought console you in present losses? Our finances we may lose, but our treasure is safe; for our Savior lives, and the place that He has prepared for us abides. There is a better land, a better substance, a better promise; and all this comes to us by a better covenant. So let us be in better spirits, and say unto the Lord, "Every day will I bless You; and praise Your name forever.""(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
