Being in Christ, and united to Him, is the fundamental constitution of a Christian.

Heaven would be hell to me without Christ.

Value God and his love more than all the world, though there were millions of them. He valued you before the world, and therefore is beforehand with you in his love. He not only loved you from everlasting, (whereas your love is but of yesterday,) but in the valuation of it, he loved you before all worlds, and preferred you to all worlds: though you loved the world first, before you loved him.

If I were to go to heaven, and find that Christ was not there, I would leave immediately; for heaven without Christ would be hell to me.

Glory in nothing, but only in this, that you are in Christ. For God chose you in him; the being you had was in him before the world was.

My brethren, when God first began to love you, He gave you all that He ever meant to give you in the lump, and eternity of time is that in which He is retailing of it out.

Judas heard all Christ's sermons.
