This sermon explains that heaven is a place of rest and joy where people from every part of the world will gather with the faithful of old, like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It reminds listeners that salvation is not based on family, religion, or good appearance, but on true faith in Jesus Christ. Finally, it warns that those who only pretend to follow God, even if they grew up in godly homes, will face eternal separation and regret in darkness.
A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on September 4, 1855.
