Secure

"Every Christian man can wake up in the morning with fresh mercies and with the understanding that whatever happens to his bank account or with his family or whatever else, he is united to Christ and therefore he is as secure as Christ himself is."

Jared C. Wilson

Heaven

"if books go beyond Scripture, I doubt what they say about heaven. … And since doubted claims are of little use for living our lives, I don't bother to read these books since I have my Bible which already tells me what I can know for sure about heaven.".             - John Piper
Writing for The Gospel Coalition,
Nancy Guthrie said "[W]e do not need the testimony of an impressionable 4-year-old boy, a neurosurgeon, spine surgeon, sports writer, or even a pastor to know that heaven is real. We have everything we need in the Bible. Its testimony is enough to generate genuine faith in Christ, as well as a greater longing for unending life in his presence."
