Edwards on the Citizens of Heaven

This is just a short snippet of Jonathan Edwards's description of heaven in his sermon on 1 Corinthians 13:8-10, named Heaven is a World of Love

That God who so fully manifests himself there [heaven]is perfect with an absolute and infinite perfection. That Son of God who is the brightness of his Father's glory appears there in his glory, without that veil of outward meanness in which he appeared in this world, as a root out of dry ground destitute of an outward glory. There the Holy Spirit shall be poured forth with perfect sweetness, as a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal(Revelation 22 at the beginning); a river whose waters are without any manner of pollution. And every member of that glorious society shall be without blemish of sin or imprudence or any kind of failure. The whole church shall then be presented to Christ as a bride clothed in fine linen, clean and white, without spot or wrinkle. "Christ ... loved the church, and gave himself for it, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish" (Eph. 5:25-27). In that world, wherever the inhabitants turn their eyes they shall see nothing but beauty and glory. In the most stately cities on earth, however magnificent the buildings are, yet the streets are filthy and defiled, being made to be trodden under foot. But the street of his heavenly city is represented as being as pure gold, like unto transparent glass (Rev. 21:21). That it should be like pure gold only does not sufficiently represent the purity of them; but they are also like the transparent glass or crystal. (pp. 282-283, Charity and Its Fruits)
