Holiness: Getting Heaven into Us


Richard Foster writes:


You see, the goal of the Christian life is not simply to get us into heaven, but to get heaven into us! God is intent upon making you and making me into "a dazzling, radient, immortal creature, pulsating all through with such energy and joy and wisdom and love as we cannot now imagine, a bright, stainless mirror that reflects back to God perfectly (though, of course, on a smaller scale) His own boundless power and delight and goodness."


From Streams of Living Water, quoting C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity
