The Story of Heaven vs. The Story of Conscience vs. The Story of the Spirit
Genesis 28:12 He dreamed of a ladder set up on the earth, and its top reached into heaven. And the angels of God were on the ladder, going up and coming down.
Genesis 28:13 Then the Lord stood above the ladder and said, “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give to you and to your offspring the land on which you now lie.”
Ezekiel 1:22 Above the heads of the living creatures was the pattern of a vaulted ceiling, and it looked like awesome crystal, spread over the heads of the living creatures.
Acts 24:16 Therefore I train myself to have a clear conscience toward God and toward men.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may be recipients of mercy and of grace, and be a timely help.
2 Timothy 4:22 The Lord be with your Spirit; grace be with you.
