a quote

from my favorite pastor's favorite pastor, Jonathan Edwards:

God is the highest good the redeemed are brought to the possession of and enjoyment of by the redemption which Christ purchased.

God is the inheritance of the saints, the portion of their souls, their wealth and treasure, their food, their life, their dwelling place, their ornament and diadem, their everlasting honor and glory.

The saints have none in heaven but God. The LORD God is the light of heavenly Jerusalem, the river of water of life that runs, the tree of life that grows.

The glorious excellencies of the beauty of God will forever entertain the minds of the saints, and the love of God will be their everlasting feast.
