He hath the
beginning of heaven even upon earth; for his soul is filled
with the love of God; and the love of God is heaven. He
that truly believes on Jesus Christ hath a peace which earth
cannot give; his mind is always calm; he hath learned in
every state therewith to be content; he is always easy, quiet,
well-pleased; always happy, in life and in death; for a
believer is not afraid to die; he desires to be dissolved and
to be with Christ; he desires to quit this house of clay, and
to be carried by angels into Abraham’s bosom ; to hear the
voice of the archangel, and the trump of God, and to see the
Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven; to stand at his
right hand, and hear that word, (which I earnestly beg of
God you and I may hear,) “Come, ye blessed, receive the
kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the
world !”
