摘自 C.S. Lewis Mere Christianity “It is not a question of God sending us to Heaven or Hell, but of being a certain kind of person and being made into a different kind of person. And if you are not a kind of person that fits into Heaven, you can't be there. It is not a question of God 'giving' you something, but of God making you into someone who could stand it. You would not just be able to 'stand' Heaven if you remained what you are now. You would not even be able to 'see' it, much less enjoy it. 这并不是一个关于上帝将我们送到天堂还是地狱的问题，而是关于我们被塑造成另一种人的问题。如果你不是一种适合天堂的人，你就无法在待在那里。这不是上帝‘赐予’你什么，而是上帝使你成为能够待在天堂的人。如果你依然保持现在的样子，你不仅无法‘忍受’天堂，甚至无法‘看见’它，更不用说享受它了。” “死后进天堂”不应该成为“信主”的动力，“受洗”也不意味着成为基督徒。
