“Now suppose both death and hell were utterly defeated.Â Suppose the fight was fixed.Â Suppose God took you on a crystal ball trip into your future and you saw with indubitable certainty that despite everything â€” your sin, your smallness, your stupidity â€” you could have free for the asking your whole crazy heartâ€™s deepest desire: heaven, eternal joy.Â Would you not return fearless and singing?Â What can earth do to you, if you are guaranteed heaven?Â To fear the worst earthly loss would be like a millionaire fearing the loss of a penny â€” less, a scratch on a penny.”
