Perkins: Want Heaven? Go To Church

We must in this world come as near heaven and the happiness of life everlasting as may be (Phil. 3:14). And for this cause we must join ourselves to the assemblies where the word is preached, prayer is made, and sacraments administered. For there is the gate of heaven.

William Perkins, Commentary on Galatians, in Works, 2:130 (HT: Inwoo Lee)
