| HEAVEN - Preparation for | 天堂 - 預備 |
| The more of heaven we cherish, the less of earth we
covet. 我們越是憧憬天堂，就越少貪愛世界。 |
| Grace is glory begun, and
glory is grace consummated. Grace is glory in the bud, and glory is grace in the
fruits. Grace is the lowest degree of glory, and glory the highest degree of grace.
Francis Burkitt 恩典是榮耀的起頭，而榮耀是恩典的高峰。恩典是榮耀含苞待放的蓓蕾，而榮耀是恩典的果實。恩典是最基礎的榮耀，而榮耀是恩典的最高表現。 |
| It is certain that all that will go to heaven
hereafter begin their heaven now, and have their hearts there. Matthew Henry 無庸質疑的，所有日後將赴天堂的人此時此刻開始他們的天堂生活，他們的心就在天堂那邊。 |
| Our duty as Christians is
always to keep heaven in our eye and earth under our feet. Matthew Henry 我們基督徒的責任就是經常定睛仰望天堂並將世界置於腳下。 |
| Grace and glory are one and the same thing in a
different print, in a smaller and greater letter. Glory lies couched and compacted
in grace, as the beauty of a flower lies couched and eclipsed in the seed. Thomas Hopkins 恩典與榮耀是同一件事但不同的印刷，一個字體較小一個較大。榮耀蟄伏在恩典之中，如同花朵的美麗隱藏在種子之中。 |
| The Lord Christ leads none
to heaven but whom he sanctifies on earth. This living Head will not admit of dead
members. John Owen 主基督除了祂在世上成聖的人以外，不帶任何人到天堂。永活的頭不會容許死的肢體。 |
| Holiness indeed is perfected in heaven; but the
beginning of it is invariably confined to this world. Joseph Hall 聖潔的確是在天堂才得完全；但聖潔的起點一直都在今生今世。 |
| Grace is young glory. Alexander Peden 恩典是年幼的榮耀。 |
| Glory must begin in grace. Richard Sibbes 榮耀必須始於恩典。 |
| No man may go to heaven who
hath not sent his heart thither before. Thomas Wilson 未將自己的心先送至天堂者，不能進入天堂。 |
