There’s another long weekend for us to enjoy after the Holy Week holiday we had. For my family, this is the long weekend that we will unwind after my daughter’s VBS and me catching up with my translation back log. Finally, the break we really need!
Anyways, here’s some quotes from a book I recently finished titled, Heavenly Minded authored by Mary Willson Hannah and was published by 10 Publishing. If you like these quotes, grab the book by clicking here.
“…the Bible teaches us that the most fundamental aspects of Christian identity are firmly fixed. It’s folly to look anywhere other than Christ to discover who we really are.”
“Heaven is the believer’s ultimate destination. Our salvation’s sure outcome ought to fill us with unflinching assurance and joy. This final incentive is deep and rich—encompassing two glorious truths—Jesus is coming to us in glory and we are going to him in glory.”
“Heavenly mindedness, rather than worldly mindedness, is key to the Christian life.”
“What does it mean to look heavenward? Well, it means to turn to Christ, who is seated in heaven. Turn to the eternal things of God. Turn to the enduring city whose builder and maker is God. Turn to what is good and holy. Turn to the everlasting throne of God.”
“We are to seek the things that are above because the Lord Jesus is reigning over all things from heaven. Our glorious, incarnate Savior is there, and he is our life.”
“A common reason we Christians don’t mature in our spiritual lives is that we don’t embrace our new identity, either personally or as a body of believers.”
“If you’re a believer in Christ, your life is hidden with Christ in God. Your safety in Christ is as secure, as indissoluble, as Christ’s own union with God the Father.”
“…we’re not only redeemed from enslavement to worldly thinking, but for setting our mind actively on what is above.”
