About This Quote
This life is the only opportunity we will have to worship God in the midst of trials and tests. Heaven will be perfect. This quote is a reference to the promises in the Bible that describe the state of eternity and how it will be completely free from suffering, pain, and death. In this life, we have no freedom from suffering, pain, or death.
In this life, we have only freedom from sin, but our sins remain until death. No matter where you go or what you do, one day you will die. Your body will not live forever so you cannot go to heaven where God’s perfect state of being lives.
Instead, you must go to a place called “hell” where God’s justice is meted out by a great white throne surrounded by a sea of fire. This is why Jesus said in John 4:19 that our faith can move mountains.
