The Immortal Man in Glory
By William Covert
MORTAL eyes have not seen all the wonderful things that God will exhibit to those who enter the land of glory. Neither have man's ears yet heard music so sweet as that which the redeemed from Adam's race will sing. It is believed that the appreciation of man in the immortal state will exceed by many fold anything which man in a perishable state has ever known, and that his capacity in all things which relate to the glorified state will be correspondingly enlarged. Here man, since sin entered, has been in a state of halting between life and death. Indeed, he has not known in its fulness what life is, because death has been ever pulling on his nerves and tormenting him with its poisonous fangs. In the immortal state, all man's senses will be perfected, and the infinite love of the infinite Father will be answered by a satisfied people in a glorified world. Immortality can have no capacity for pain nor hiding-places for sorrow. Just think of the land of life where glory reigns. There all have ears to hear, eyes to see, tongues to talk, nerves to feel, every faculty, every fiber, and every organ so perfected, so ordered, and so endowed that the dew of youth will be ever fresh and its beauty never fade. This is the state of glory into which the ransomed of the Lord soon will enter. Not one grave in that place of glory, for none ever die over there. Dear reader, the Captain of our salvation has made provision for you to be there, too, and in tenderness He is calling you to accept of His hand, that you may be safely guided into the home of the saved, where the inhabitants never die. Do you believe it? and do you want to go?
