Posted on by

Ponder these two concise and powerful descriptions, by Tony Reinke.

Heaven is eternity in the presence of God through a Mediator.

Hell is eternity in the presence of God with no Mediator.

• eternity — Matthew 25:46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

• presence of God (heaven) — Psalm 16:11, You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

• presence of God (hell) — Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

• mediator — 1 Timothy 2:5, For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

• no mediator — John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.

All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.

As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Creditors have better memories than debtors.

Do good to your friends to keep them, to your enemies to win them.
