Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. Isaiah 58:14.

The heritage that God has promised to His people is not in this world.... All that are Christ’s are “Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise,”—heirs to “an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away”—the earth freed from the curse of sin. For “the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; and the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”—Patriarchs and Prophets, 169.

You must be there. Whatever you lose here, be determined to make sure of eternal life. Never become discouraged.... Live for Jesus.... Seek earnestly for the crown of life.—Testimonies for the Church 8:131.

Look to Jesus, keeping your eyes fixed on the glory at the top of the ladder. Through Christ alone can you make sure of heaven, where all is purity, holiness, peace, and blessedness, where there are glories that mortal lips cannot describe. The nearest we can come to a description of the reward that awaits the overcomer is to say that it is a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. It will be an eternity of bliss, a blessed eternity, unfolding new glories throughout the ceaseless ages.—Testimonies for the Church, 8:131.
