Jealousy Cannot Survive in Heaven

Envy and jealousy are diseases which disorder all the faculties of the being. ...in paradise [heaven]....they would criticize the angels. They would envy another’s crown...

O that such would become changed by beholding Christ! O that they would become meek and lowly by learning of Him! Then they would go forth, not as missionaries for Satan, to cause disunion and alienation, to bruise and mangle character, but as missionaries for Christ, to be peacemakers and to restore. Let the Holy Spirit come in and expel this unholy passion, which cannot survive in heaven. Let it die; let it be crucified. Open the heart to the attributes of Christ, who was holy, harmless, undefiled....
