“It is impossible that he who never mediates with delight on the glory of Christ here in this world, who labours not to behold it by faith as revealed in the Scripture, should ever have any real gracious desire to behold it in heaven.”
-–John Owen, “Meditations and Discourses Concerning the Glory of Christ” in The Works of John Owen, ed. William Goold, (Edinburgh: Banner of Truth, 1965), Vol. I: p. 317.
