8 Golden Links To Heaven

Heaven is the center of the Christian's universe, and he is bound to it by eight golden links:

1. Our Father is there (Matthew 6:9).

2. Our Saviour is there (Hebrews 9:24).

3. Our home is there (John 14:2).

4. Our name is there (Luke 10:20).

5. Our life is there (Colossians 3:1-3).

6. Our heart is there (Matthew 6:19-21).

7. Our inheritance is there (1 Peter 1:3-5).

8. Our citizenship is there (Philippians 3:20).

-- Henry Durbanville

As the poet William Blane wrote:

Let those who know no second birth,

Labour to write their names on earth.

My joy is this, that Love divine,

On heaven's scroll hath written mine.
