Max Lucado Quotes

God has put within our lives meanings and possibilities that quite outrun the limits of mortality.

When I die, I hope to go to Heaven, whatever the Hell that is.

That's what religion teaches: that life is a temporary thing which is going to dissolve one day.

Some people think they should go to Heaven but not have to die to get there. Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.

Keep eternity before the children.

I will say with Lorenzo de Medici that those who do not hope for another life are always dead to this one.

My life and my whole eternity belongs to God. All this stuff is temporary. Money, fame, successtemporary. Even life is temporary. Jesusthat's eternal.

The dying boy said: " Father, don't you weep for me; when I get to heaven I will go straight to Jesus and tell Him that ever since I can remember you have tried to lead me to Him." I would rather have my children say that of me after I am gone; or if they die before me, I would rather they should take that message to the Master than to have a monument over me reaching to the skies.

Death is not big thing, what is important is God's service.

This life soon be over, I say. Heaven last all ways.

I'm a man. I lived it and I'm not afraid to die but when I die I'm going to paradise and I'm not worried.

Whoever dies will be rewarded by heaven.

Christianity offers the only viable, reasonable, definitive answer to the questions of Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going? Does life have any meaningful purpose?

Death is just a comma to a Christian, not a period.

If we really believed that those who are gone from us were as truly alive as ourselves, we could not invest the subject with such awful depth of gloom as we do. If we could imbue our children with distinct faith in immortality, we should never speak of people as dead, but passed into another world. We should speak of the body as a cast-off garment, which the wearer had outgrown; consecrated indeed by the beloved being that used it for a season, but of no value within itself.

I have now lost my barrier between me and death; God grant I may live to be as well prepared for it, as I confidently believe her to have been! If the way to Heaven be through piety, truth, justice and charity, she is there.

Do you always believe in the life to come? Mine was always that.

At the end of all things, the blessed will say, 'We never lived anywhere but in heaven.'

I believe in life after death.

To me - the choice of life is become less important; I hope hereafter to think only on the choice of eternity.

Death is the justification of all the ways of the Christian, the last end of all his sacrifices, the touch of the Great Master which completes the picture.

Death is robbed of much of its terror for the true believer.

I exhort you and beseech you in the bowels of Christ, faint not, weary not. There is a great necessity of heaven; ye must needs have it: all other things, as houses, lands, children, husband, friends, country, credit, health, wealth, honour, may be wanted ; but heaven is your one thing necessary, the good part that shall not be taken from you. See that you buy the field where the Pearl is; sell all and make a purchase of salvation. Think it not easy; for it is a steep ascent to eternal glory; many are lying dead by the way, that were slain with security.

Let us be men with men, and always children before God; for in His eyes we are but children. Old age itself, in presence of eternity, is but the first moment of a morning.

In the eternal scheme of things - not always in mortality - righteous yearning and longing will be fulfilled.
