The revenues of glory

What shall be the revenues of glory purchased by His death? Think what a large possession the blood of Christ will procure. Think, I say, what a glorious heaven it must be that Christ’s blood has purchased for us.

This is what He aimed to do in laying down His life for us: for justification, adoption, and sanctification are but the way to glorification; we are justified, adopted, and sanctified to this end, that we might be glorified.
