Heaven

By Editor

Heaven.—The sensational New York Journal seems to think it a strange thing that there is a man who can say that he knows anything about what heaven is like. By heaven is meant the place of reward of the people of God. And yet God has told us again and again in his holy Word that the place of reward of his children would be this earth made new and sinless and deathless, and that its capital city would be the New Jerusalem in all its transcendent and immortal glory, as described in the Revelation, chapters 20 and 21. Why will not men believe God's Word? And why is it a strange thing that a minister should say he believed it? Surely faith is waning, but God and his Word are real, and will not fail.
