When we receive forgiveness, our hearts are so filled with joy that we cannot help but love Him with a lavish love. We cannot help but give our lives to Him who gave His life for us and set us free from the prison of sin.

And this is what heaven is all about: centering upon Jesus and loving Him above all else.
