William Carey
lay up treasure in heaven
"We are
exhorted to lay up treasure in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth
corrupt, nor thieves break through and steal. It is also declared that
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. These scriptures teach
us that the enjoyments of the life to come, bear a near relation to that
which now is; a relation similar to that of the harvest, and the seed.
It is true all the reward is of mere grace, but it is nevertheless encouraging;
what a treasure, what an harvest must await such characters as PAUL, and
ELLIOT, and BRAINERD, and others, who have given themselves wholly to
the work of the Lord."
