The Story of Heaven vs. The Story of Conscience vs. The Story of the Spirit

 

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.
