To enter into heavenly life man must receive Jesus. This he can and must do. “He came unto his own and his own received him not, but as many as received him to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12, 13). The caterpillar, as it lies in the cocoon, seems to be in a state of death, yet it is capable, under proper conditions to receive something outside of itself, and receiving this, is converted into a butterfly. The soul of man, dead in sin, is capable under proper conditions to receive Jesus Christ, and as it receives him, it is born of God.⁠

What is needful for man to do that he might be born again? Some will tell us that all has been done, that there is nothing for man to do. This is a serious mistake. There is something for man to do. He must believe on Jesus Christ. The Philippian jailor asked what he should do to be saved. He was not told there was nothing for him to do. He was told to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.” (1 John 5:1). A census officer called upon a Christian with a form to be filled up, the latter gave him the family Bible in which were recorded the names of the various members of the family. After looking down the list of names, the officer said, “I do not understand this; here is the name of Samuel T. who was born in 1890, and in 1920 was born again. I do not know how to make this entry.” Reader, could you have explained the point from a personal experience?⁠
The believing that is spoken of in our last quoted text is more than intellectual belief. It is to believe with the heart. Now, it is true that none can believe from the heart that Jesus is the Christ except they forsake all for Christ. “Except a man forsake all that he hath he cannot be my disciple,” said Jesus. Do not attempt to believe on Jesus except you have forsaken all to follow Him. He must have all your heart. ⁠

Another reason [man must be born again] is because he can never receive the things of God. If God should take him into heaven without being made a new creature he could not receive the things of heaven. Listen, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Cor. 1:41). Man is a natural man until he is born again. When he is born again he is born of the supernatural power and he becomes supernatural or spiritual. Without this heaven could not be heaven to him. He could no more be able to receive the things of heaven than a dark body is to receive light, nor more able to enjoy heaven than a deaf man to enjoy music, or the blind man to enjoy the beauty of the flower. “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us [those who have been born again] by his Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” (1 Cor. 2:9, 10). Men are traveling all over the world to see and enjoy wondrous scenes of the material world. They are utterly unable to conceive of the beauties, the glories, the wonders, God has for those who have been born again except they have this experience. The heavenly birth brings man into a world of beauty, of light, of grandeur, of wonder, that fills him with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Praise the Lord. The Spirit of God brings up the deep and wondrous things of God and reveals them unto the spiritual. ⁠

Why does man need to be born again? Is there not some other way? Is this absolutely necessary? Would Jesus, who loved man so well as to die for him, have said, “Ye must, and except you do, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven,” if it had not been a positive necessity? Whenever anyone argues for some other way than an actual birth from heaven to become a Christian, he is pleading, it may be consciously or unconsciously; nevertheless, he is pleading for a looseness, a liberty in life that is below the standard of Bible living. Heaven is a fixed state of holiness. Man is in sin, and consequently in a state of death. He must have his sins forgiven, he must pass from death unto life, he must pass from a state of guiltiness to a state of innocence, he must pass from a state of sinfulness unto a state of holiness or he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. It is a fixed law. The reason why man must be born again is, then, because he cannot enter heaven without it.⁠

Some have thought that man becomes a Christian by a change of his purpose, or by decision of will, or by works of righteousness. Something of these may be necessary on the part of man, of which we will speak in its proper place, but these do not bring life to the soul. Being born again is a change, not of purpose only, but a change of nature also, a change from bad principles to good principles. It is not a change in action, such as to discontinue to go to the theatre, and to go to some religious service. It is not the change from bad words to good words. It is not to supplant cursing by praises to God. These are only the effects of being born again and not the work itself. Now it is true that man can leave off many bad deeds and take up the doing of good ones and yet not be a Christian. The doing of some good deeds is not necessarily heavenly living. Heavenly living comes only from heavenly life, and heavenly life comes only from being born again, and this is a change, not of action, but from death unto life. Being born again is to be resurrected from a state of death to that of life. It is to be translated from the kingdom of Satan into the kingdom of Christ. It is a change whereby man becomes a new creature. He is a new creation. Old things pass away, and all things become new, and all these new things are of God. The Bible becomes a new book, Jesus becomes a new Christ, love is new, joy is new, the world is a new realm of light and beauty, it is childhood innocence, joy and gladness in an heavenly life. This can be wrought in the life of man only by the Word and Spirit of God.⁠

How can a man be born again? We do not mean to tell you in what manner the work is done. No one knows this. We know that it is done and that it is done by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. These are the agencies at work in effecting the new birth, but we do not know how they work. Peter says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” (1 Pet. 1:23). James says, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth.” (Jas. 1:18). The word of God planted in the heart springs into life just as the seed planted in the ground, warmed by the sunshine, springs into life. But the seed needs moisture, heat, light, etc., that it may germinate. So the Word of God needs the germinating power of the Holy Spirit. The wire is said to be ‘dead’ when the electricity is cut off, but when the current is on it is a ‘live wire.’ Jesus says, “The words that I speak are spirit and they are life.” They are life because they are spirit. This is how man is born again. He is born again by the operation of the word and the Spirit of God in the heart. ⁠

One evening, after preaching on the subject of the heavenly life, a gentleman said to me, “I have been a member of a church for thirty years, I have had pastors capable of giving instructions in the divine life, and I have tried to live a Christian life, but have utterly failed, can you tell me the cause of my failure?” We told him that we thought we could. We asked him if a fig tree could bear olive berries. He replied, “I get your meaning. Is it possible I have been trying to live a life I did not possess?” That was his trouble, and it has been the trouble with many another. You cannot live an heavenly life if you do not possess the life. Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). We have a number of different translations of the New Testament in our library, and for the words, “born again,” as given in our common version, they all read, “born from above.” To be born from above is to have an heavenly birth. Man becomes a Christian in no other way than that of being born from above. Birth means life, and since this birth is from above, the Christian’s life is of heavenly origin. This birth brings man into an heavenly state on earth, enables him to live an heavenly life, and entitles him to an eternal heaven beyond this life. ⁠

The lives we live do not die with us. They will go on preaching long after the grass is waving over our tomb. It is a serious thought. This is an age of lightness of thought respecting eternal things. It is an age in which there is much calculated to relieve men of the feeling of responsibility of life. It is a serious thing to live. Better never to have lived at all than to fail of doing our duty in life. No tears of our after life can wash out a deed that has been done. Jesus can forgive, but the deed still lives. The son of a wealthy man was standing scratching the glass of a show-window with the diamond in his ring. “Don’t do that,” said a ragged newsboy. “I guess I will do as I please,” replied the young man. “But you can’t rub it out,” answered the boy. The deeds of life are difficult to efface.⁠
There is an heavenly way marked out for the people of God. It was marked out by the life of Jesus. The way He trod is the heavenly way. God wants us at our best. It is our privilege, as Christians, to reveal Christ to men. God calls us to holiness of life. “Be ye holy for I am holy.” “Be ye holy in all manner of living.” Holy living is heavenly living. Jesus has come to give us life (see John10:10), “He that hath the Son, hath life.” (1 John 5:12). The life that Jesus came to give us is heavenly life. We can have it in its fullness, and when we have it we can and will live it. Just as it takes time and effort to keep in strong physical life, so it will take time and effort to keep in strong spiritual life.⁠

It is a great privilege to be in the niche God has for us in the world of life. It is a wonderful thing to have a little spot in the great vineyard of the Lord assigned to our care and keeping. Let us keep it clean. It may not be a very large spot. It may not reach many miles from our cottage door, but small though it be, let’s keep it clean and beautiful. There is a wondrous reflex action in it. We grow into the image of the work we do from the heart. If we have an ideal life before us and we work to that ideal we will have that ideal stamped in our character. As we work to brighten our corner we will grow to be brighter. We have seen the motto, “Take the world as you find it.” We would like to place another by the side of this, “But do not leave it as you found it.” An heavenly life in the world leaves its imprint upon the world. With whatsoever sort of life you touch the world, that is the stamp you will leave upon it. The old miller left some of the flour-dust, with which his clothes were covered, upon everyone he touched. If we talk with someone for a few moments and do not leave something of heaven upon them it is because we are not close enough to heaven or close enough to them, possibly both.⁠

There is a small marble slab, marking the grave of a child in a southern hillside cemetery, on which are engraven the words, “It is easy to live right when she was with us.” The words were the remark of one of the playmates of the deceased child, as the little body was being lowered into the grave. Is there a soul so dead that does not thrill with an emotion at the thought of being able to make it easier for another to live right? Let us invest so heavily in the stock of grace that we may be able, by our heavenly life, to help others to live heavenly. Such investment will pay well in the day of eternity.⁠

We can live heavenly here amid the duties of every day life. We can have the stamp of holiness on every word we speak and every deed we do. By living much in the presence of Christ, the bloom of Christ will tint every act of life. By the assimilation of Christ, in the hour of quiet meditation, we become molded into His image and we can then stamp that image upon the world. If we would impress the world with heaven we must bear the impress of heaven.⁠
⁠
“I hear my Savior saying,⁠
I’ll never leave thee now,⁠
If thou wilt bear my image ⁠
Upon thy heart and brow.”⁠

God has a place for each of us. If we will find this place and fill it as he intends, our life will turn the thoughts of men from earthly to heavenly things. A Christian lady for days nursed a poor, sick, fallen girl. One day as the girl was recovering health, the lady said to her, “Do you ever have thoughts of God?” The girl, looking into her face replied, “I cannot help but have thoughts of God since I knew you.” It is a blessed privilege to so live that we can bring thoughts of God to the minds of others. I would rather cause one man to think of God than have the wealth of the wealthiest man. A man said to his wife, “When I am tried and tempted to speak hastily and crossly, if you will keep sweet it will help me to get the victory.” It is no small thing in the eyes of heaven to keep so mild, gentle and calm in a time of domestic tempest as to bring a quietness, a calmness into the life of some tried one.⁠

A holy life is a convincing proof of the reality of the Christian religion, and the truthfulness of the Bible. A God-filled life is a strong magnet drawing men into companionship with Jesus. If a holy life does not draw men to God it is because they are of such a nature as to gravitate only toward the world. There are powers in a godly life that distinguishes it from all other life. A holy life is an index finger pointing the way to God. A life free from sin speaks out the story of redeeming grace to other lives. If we carry holy principles with us in the world, the world will be hallowed by us. Those who work in flower fields carry the fragrance on their clothes. There is no sweeter music in the world or in heaven than those psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs sung out of hearts filled with the love of heaven. It is not for artistic music that the world is thirsting, it is the music sung in the lives of holy men and women. Fill your soul, O saint of God, in the place of secret prayer, with the music of the celestial world and then go out and sing it into the hearts of men. Nothing will gladden the world like this. The world of men is weary with a religion that is worldly. “Away with the plays, pictures, classical music, programs, socials,” they cry, “give us a religion that has come from heaven and lifts men up to an heavenly place and to holiness of life.” The world is looking for men who walk with God.⁠

In speaking of the great salvation of God through his abundant mercy and love, Paul said, “And hath raised us up together, and made us to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” (Eph. 2:6). Through the saving grace of God man is raised up to an heavenly place in Christ. In chapter 1, verse 3, Paul tells that God will bless us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Many are praying for spiritual blessings. Such blessings fall only in heavenly places. Man will have all the spiritual blessings his soul demands if he will but live in an heavenly place. Now man can live in an heavenly place for the grace of God in salvation raises him up to an heavenly place. The only kind of life people live in an heavenly place is an heavenly life. You cannot live a sinful, worldly life in an heavenly place.⁠

If all who profess to be Christians would live soberly, righteously, and godly, they would win the world for Christ in a short time. A heathen said to a missionary, “We are finding you out. You are not as good as your Book. We like your Book, but you do not live like your Book reads. If you would live like your Book reads, you would conquer India for Jesus in five years.” Amid the cares of everyday life, do you live like the Book reads? The Book tells us that we should live godly in this world, or in this life. To live godly is to live like God.⁠
Let me tell you a story. It is only a story of my own imagination, but it may give you a serious thought. Suppose the planet Mars is inhabited by people of like nature to us. They have moving pictures there as men have here. One theatrical man hears of the life of Jesus. He hears of it being the most wonderful life ever lived. He wishes to get that life on his films that he may play it out in his picture house. But he is told that the life of Jesus is a Spirit life, and he has no camera that will photograph a spirit. But he is also told that there is a people on the planet Earth who live the life of Jesus in the flesh and if he will send his photographer to Earth and take a picture of the daily life of these people he will have the life of Jesus. Now we wish to ask you if you are ready to sit for the picture. Suppose you can’t get your automobile started, or the bread burns, or the clothes line breaks, or the baby is cross, or someone tells a falsehood on you, are you ready to have your picture taken and write under it, “Christlike?”⁠

It is as easy to know the will of God as it is for the bird to know how to build its nest. Further on we will have more to say about this.⁠
Paul, in writing a letter to Titus, his own son after the common faith, said, “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world.” (Tit. 2:11-12). To have these words fulfilled in our life is to live heavenly. Grace is a teacher come from God. It teaches man how to live. We have been told that grace means favor, and so it does, but that is not its primary meaning. Grace primarily meant, ‘that which brings joy to another.’ The night in which the Saviour was born an angel announced, “I bring you good tidings of great joy.” Then immediately a multitude of the heavenly host shouted, “On earth peace, good will toward men.” The bringing of great joy to man was God’s good will to man. Grace means favor, but such favor as brings gladness to the heart of man. This grace that brings joy to the life of man teaches him of a life that corresponds with joy. Joy is found only in heavenly living. In no other plane of life will man find joy.⁠

We are called to heavenliness of life. None have attained to the true standard of life who do not live heavenly. It is God’s ideal life for man. In his Sermon on the Mount Jesus spoke these words, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matt. 7:21). Nothing but doing the will of God entitles man to heaven, and whosoever does his will lives heavenly. In teaching his disciples how to pray, Jesus said, “After this manner therefore pray ye, Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.” (Matt. 6:9, 10). When the will of God is done in earth as it is in heaven, then earth becomes counterpart of heaven. Wherever you see any one doing the will of God there you will behold an heavenly life. It is thought by some Christian professors that the will of God cannot be done on earth. They say we cannot even know the will of God. If you will read this little book carefully and prayerfully you will learn how to know the will of God and also how to do it. ⁠
There is a precious secret in knowing the will of God. It is said that the “secret of the Lord is with them that fear him.” (Psa. 25:14). And again, “His secret is with the righteous.” (Prov. 3:32). ⁠

“The Topmost Round in the Ladder of Life.” This was the subject three young ladies were discussing one afternoon. One of them thought if she could become a world-renowned painter that she would reach, what she thought to be the topmost round in life’s ladder. The second aspired to become a great educator. The third thought she could be the greatest blessing to man by becoming a politician, therefore she thought of entering the world of politics. An old man who was passing by was asked by the young ladies what he thought to be the topmost round in the ladder of life. Taking a small well-worn book from his pocket, he read these words, “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” (Col. 3:17). He explained to them that “name” meant nature or character. “Therefore whatever else you may do in life,” said the aged man, “you have not reached the true standard of life except you do those things in the nature, or character of Jesus.” The young ladies exclaimed in one breath, “It is impossible to live such a life. Only angels live in such a way.”⁠
To do all our deeds and speak all our words in the nature or character of Jesus is to live heavenly. These short messages are brought to you to ⁠
show you that such a life can be lived on the earth, to tell you how it can be done, and also to tell you why it should be done.⁠

I once heard a story of how Satan hunts for the souls of man. With the story was a picture of a man going down a long dismal street. On his right shoulder sat an imp, apparently speaking into his ear. The street represented life. Just where the man was seemed the darkest spot in all the street, but far ahead of him light seemed springing up, which, however, was not seen by him at the time, for he was looking down. Often if we would look up, we should discover that just where we are is the darkest spot and that ahead the light of hope beams brightly, inviting us on to triumph and victory. The story ran about as follows:⁠
Satan has many imps with which he hunts the souls of man. The most successful one of them he calls Discouragement. Once upon a time Satan saw a man passing down the way of life and he said to his little imp Discouragement, “Catch him.” Starting off with a bound, the imp soon overtook the man, and springing upon his shoulder, whispered in his ear, “You are discouraged.” “No,” replied the man; “I do not think so.” “Yes,” said the imp; “I tell you, you are discouraged.” “Well,” replied the man, “I am not very much discouraged.” Again the imp repeated, “I tell you, you are discouraged.” Finally the man said, “Yes I am discouraged.” The imp then went flying back to his master and said triumphantly. “I caught him.” ⁠

Don’t waste precious time arguing with Satan.⁠
Don’t make your emotions the standard by which to measure your experience.⁠
Don’t say, “I can’t;” that belongs to those who have no Christ.⁠
Don’t measure your salvation by some wonderful experience someone else has had; measure by the New Testament.⁠
Don’t depend on your conscience; live by the Bible.⁠
Don’t get discouraged; it will be of no help to you.⁠
Don’t be a baby all your life; learn to be strong.⁠
Don’t make rash vows, “trust in the Lord, and he shall bring it to pass.”⁠
Don’t shed tears to please the devil.⁠
Don’t believe that God does not hear you; if you are seeking him earnestly, his ears are open to your cry.⁠
Don’t let Satan make a speaking trumpet to your ears.⁠
Don’t testify for the devil; tell what God has done.⁠
Don’t try to feel as you think somebody else feels.⁠
Don’t follow every impression; use your common sense and follow the Bible.⁠
Don’t let Satan make you believe that you have harder trials than anyone else on earth.⁠
Don’t look for trials and discouragements; let your expectation be from the Lord.⁠
Don’t help the devil to make you miserable by bringing up the past.⁠
Don’t pray for blessings and then refuse to endure temptations. Jas. 1:12.⁠
Don’t accuse yourself; be as good to yourself as you are to others.⁠

In order to derive the benefit from prayer that you should, you must know how to pray an effectual prevailing prayer. It matters little just how you express yourself, whether in a few words or many, whether in a whisper or a shout, whether in the closet or in public, so long as you pray according to the will of God, express the desires of your heart, and prevail in prayer. How much you pray or how often you pray is not so important as how prevailingly you pray. A thousand long prayers unanswered are not as beneficial to the soul as one short, earnest, prevailing prayer. A prevailing prayer is a fervent prayer, a prayer that comes from the burning desire of the confiding and trustful heart. A prevailing prayer is a prayer of faith. It is not what you pray for that does you good, but what you believe for. Prayer without faith is like a man without a soul, or like faith without works: it is dead. If you cannot believe for the thing you most desire in prayer, pray for an increase of faith, use what faith you have, step out on the Word and accompany your prayer with all the faith God has given and you can exercise, then you can prevail in prayer. Nobody can pray too much if all his prayers are prayers of faith, but often those who pray the most believe the least. Remember that the important point in prevailing with God is not prayer alone, but believing prayer.⁠
