But In Heaven The Christian Shall Gain Purity Without Sin!

Look forward to your sinless and perfect home!
(William Nicholson, "Death, the Believer's Gain!" 1862)

"For to me, to live is CHRIST 
and to die is gain!" Philippians 1:21

At death, the Christian gains holiness 

without sin. In Heaven, the very 

existence of sin will be destroyed, 

"Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor 
will anyone who does what is shameful 
or deceitful, but only those whose names 
are written in the LAMB'S book of life!" 
Revelation 21:27

Here on earth, sin is the ruin of man--
the ruin of his immortal soul. It has 
blighted and blasted the world, and filled 
it with impurity, misery, and death!

The Christian has here to struggle and wrestle . . .
  with sin in his members,
  with his depraved heart,
  with sin in his family,
  with sin in his neighbors,
  with sin in his business transactions,
  with sin in society at large.
He feels its evil operations, and 
laments its corrupting effects.

But in Heaven the Christian 
shall gain purity without sin! 

All the remains of sin, and the dregs 
of corruption are left forever behind! 

No condemning conscience is found there.
No unhallowed appetites are found there.
No disordered affections exist there.
No appearance or vestige of evil is found there.
Every child of GOD is as pure as CHRIST is pure--
as perfect as his FATHER in Heaven is perfect.

Child of mortality, heir of corruption! 

Look forward to your sinless and 
perfect home, and learn that to die 
will be gain indeed!

"Now the dwelling of GOD is with men, 
and HE will live with them. They will be 
HIS people, and GOD HIMSELF will be 
with them and be their GOD. HE will wipe 
every tear from their eyes. There will be 
no more death or mourning or crying or 
pain, for the old order of things has 
passed away!" Revelation 21:3-4
