The Christian Pilgrim: The True Christian's Life a Journey Towards Heaven, Revised Edition (With Active Table of Contents) QUOTES

1 " We should travel on in the way of obedience to all God's commands, even the difficult as well as the easy; denying all our sinful inclinations and interests. The way to heaven is ascending; we must be content to travel up hill, though it be hard and tiresome, and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh. We should follow Christ; the path he travelled, was the right way to heaven. We should take up our cross and follow him, in meekness and lowliness of heart, obedience and charity, diligence to do good, and patience under afflictions. The way to heaven is a heavenly life; an imitation of those who are in heaven, in their holy enjoyments, loving, adoring, serving, and praising God and the Lamb. "

― Jonathan Edwards , The Christian Pilgrim: The True Christian's Life a Journey Towards Heaven, Revised Edition (With Active Table of Contents)

2 " If we spend our lives in the pursuit of a temporal happiness; as riches or sensual pleasures; credit and esteem from men; delight in our children, and the prospect of seeing them well brought up, and well settled, &c.--All these things will be of little significancy to us. Death will blow up all our hopes, and will put an end to these enjoyments. "

― Jonathan Edwards , The Christian Pilgrim: The True Christian's Life a Journey Towards Heaven, Revised Edition (With Active Table of Contents)

3 " The present state is short and transitory; but our state in the other world, is everlasting. "
