Who Shall Enter the Kingdom of Heaven?

“A man would have heaven – but will take no pains. As if one should say, he desires water – but will not let down the bucket into the well. ”The desire of the slothful kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.” Prov. 21.25. The sinner desires mercy but not grace; he desires Christ as a Savior – but not as he is the Holy One; he desires Christ only as a bridge to lead him over to heaven. Such desires as these may be found among the damned!” – Thomas Watson
