“Morning and Evening” by C. H. Spurgeon,  Morning, June 10:

“If  God had willed it, each of us might have entered heaven at the moment of conversion.”

******************

1. “Why then are we here?”

2. “Would God keep his children out of paradise a single moment longer than was necessary?”

3. “Why is the army of the living God still on the battlefield when one charge might give them the victory?”

4. “Why are His children still wandering here and there through a maze, when a solitary word from his lips would bring them into the center of their hopes in heaven?”

*****************************

“The answer is – they are here that they may “live to the Lord,” and may bring others to know His love.”
