II. But now, be Exhorted, and be Persuaded, O all ye People, every one of you, To make sure of this, that you go unto a Glorious Heaven when you leave this Earth; Or, as the Word of Life Expresses it, 1 Tim. 6. 12. Lay hold on Eternal Life.
II. But now, be Exhorted, and be Perswaded, O all ye People, every one of you, To make sure of this, that you go unto a Glorious Heaven when you leave this Earth; Or, as the Word of Life Expresses it, 1 Tim. 6. 12. Lay hold on Eternal Life.
We are informed of a Glorious Heaven; Oh, Let us not be like those unbelievers, of whom the Psalmist reports, They Despised the Pleasant Land. HEAVEN, One would think, there should need little to be said, for the Recommendation of it! Why, 'Tis the One Thing that is Needful. And yet a little shall be now said, of the much that might be.
Consider I. You have the Glorious Heaven ⟨p. 102⟩set Open to you; You may Enter into that Glorious Heaven, if you do not by Unbelief shut it upon your selves. You are told from Heaven, 1 Pet. 5. 10. The God of all […] has called us unto His Eternal Glory. O matchless Grace indeed! Souls, you have a Call, to come away to Glory. Will not this Grace even amaze and conquer, that sinful Heart of thine, O most obstinate Sinner. That after all thy Sinfulness, and Loathsomeness, and Wretchedness, God should call thee away to Glory! But so He does. We are made partakers of the Heavenly Calling. The Lord of Heaven from thence calls unto us, to come unto Him there. Our Illustrious High Priest is gone into that Holy of Holies, and having Laid it Open for us He calls unto us; yea, He calls unto the vilest and blackest Sinner in all this Great Assembly, You may come after me!
